What is the epidermal cell modification in plants which prevents water loss?

Solution

Bulliform cells check the water loss. Bulliform or motor cells are modified epidermal cells present in monocots or grasses. Under stressed conditions, they help in shutting down stomata and thus reduce water loss through transpiration.
