If it is a upper epidermal cell then it will look

transparent

close fitting

rectangular

a horizontal shape

The upper epidermal cells are transparent and close fitting, containing no chloroplasts, which are present in other leaf cells. They allow light to pass straight through them. The epidermis is covered by a waterproof cuticle, which reduces water loss from the leaf, since it is a waxy substance.

If it is a lower epidermis cell then it will look like cells covered in tiny pores (holes)

The lower epidermis has tiny pores (holes)in it's surface called stomata.These are very important for the leaf to exchange gases with the air. The stomata pores can be opened or closed by special cells on either side of the pore called guard cells. thes sausage shaped ceel are green and are thae only epidermal cells to contain chloroplasts

How does the epidermis of the root differ from the epidermis of the stem in structure and function?

"As you recall, epidermis (1) is the outermost cell layer of leaves, roots and stems. Unlike the root epidermis, stem and leaf epidermis contain stomata (more on stomata when we discuss photosynthesis). In many plants, leaf and stem epidermis is covered by a wax-like layer of cutin, which protects the plants from excessive water loss, and from pathogen attack."
