The epidermis refers to the outer layer of skin (epi- from the Greek meaning "upon" and dermis from the Latinized form of the Greek word "derma" meaning "skin"). The gastrodermis refers to the inner layer of cells lining the gastrovascular cavity of Cnidarians (jellyfish, sea anemones, coral, etc.).
