Epidermal tissue in plants serves as a protective outer layer, primarily composed of tightly packed cells that minimize water loss and provide a barrier against pathogens. It often features specialized structures such as cuticles, which are waxy coatings that reduce transpiration, and stomata, which facilitate gas exchange. Additionally, in some plants, epidermal cells may have trichomes (hair-like structures) that deter herbivores and reduce water loss. Overall, these structural adaptations enhance the plant's ability to survive in various environments.
