A trichome is a fine outgrowth or hair-like structure on a plant. It can be glandular or non-glandular and can serve various functions such as protecting against herbivores or reducing water loss. A prickle, on the other hand, is a sharp-pointed structure that arises from the plant's epidermis, often lacking vascular tissue and being more abrasive than trichomes.
