Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: The plant surface is covered by the dermal tissues. It is a complex plant tissue with more than one cell type. It protects the inner tissues of the plant and also connects them to the outer world. Epidermis is the primary surface tissue of the plant. The dermal tissues help to detect excess water loss and invasion by insects and microorganisms.
