Question

How do the cells of epidermal tissue form a continuous layer without intercellular spaces?

Answer 1

Epidermis:

1. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the plant body that protects the plant against infection, mechanical injury, water loss, etc.
2. Epidermal cells present on the aerial parts of the plant secrete a water-resistant layer on their outer surface that protects the plant from water loss, mechanical injury, and pathogens.
3. Due to its protective role, the cells of the epidermal tissue form a continuous layer without intercellular spaces.
