Question

Cuticle is secreted by

• A. Hypodermis
• B. Endodermis
• C. Epidermis
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is C Epidermis

Cuticle, the outer layer or part of an organism that comes in contact with the environment. In many invertebrates the dead, noncellular cuticle is secreted by the epidermis. In some higher plants, the cuticle is a water-impervious protective layer covering the epidermal cells of leaves and other parts and limiting water loss.

So, the correct answer is 'Epidermis.'
