4. Dermal tissue is typically a thin layer of cells that cover the plant. Does this thin layer imply that this tissue is not essential or not as important as other cell types for the plant? Explain.
The dermal tissue system protects the soft tissue of the plant and controls the interaction with surrondings.The epidermis is a dermal tissue which secretes waxy layer called cuticle which prevents the waer loss from plants.In epidermal hairs are present which reduces the water loss by reducing the flow of air on the plant surface.Glandular hairs on epidermis prevent herbivory by storing substance which are harmfull to insects.Root hais present in the epidermis of root increase the surface area of the cell thus the water absorption.
