Solution
The correct option is C Conduction of water
The epidermis is a single layer of cells
found on outer layers in different parts of the plant. It forms a barrier
between the underlying tissues in a plant with the surrounding environment.
Therefore, it is protected from adverse environmental conditions.
The presence of stomata and guard cells
in the epidermal tissue will help in the exchange of O2 and CO2.
Conduction of water and minerals in
plants takes place in conducting vessels. It is located in the core, known as
xylem. Thus conduction of water is not the function of the epidermis but, it is
of xylem.
The correct option is C.
