<h3>⇝ <u>Epidermis</u> :</h3>
Protective tissues includes epidermis & cork. Epidermis is basically a simple permanent tissue, protective in function. It forms one-cell-thick covering over all the parts of plant.
<h3>⇝ <u>Characteristics of Epidermis</u> : </h3>

- In aerial parts, epidermis is covered with a waterproof and noncellular waxy covering called cuticle.
- Cells form a continuous layer, but in leaves epidermis has small openings called stomata.
- Each stoma is guarded by a pair of bean-shaped guard cells which govern opening & closing of stomatal aperture.
<h3>⇝ <u>Functions of Epidermis</u> :</h3>
- Epidermis protects the underlying tissues from mechanical injury, chemicals & infection.
- Cuticle of epidermis protects against water loss & desiccation. It checks the rate of transpiration & evaporation and prevents wilting.
- Stomata in the epidermis of leaves help in gaseous exchange during respiration & photosynthesis.
