Q2. (a) Analyse the reason behind the following statements:
(i) Epidermis is thicker in desert plants though it is usually single layered.
(ii) Presence of waxy layer (secreted by epidermis) on the outer surface of plants.
(b) Discuss the cell arrangement which supports the fact that epidermis is a protective tissue.
Answer
(a) (i) In desert habitat, protection against water loss is essential. Epidermis is thick in desert plants and are covered with waxy cuticle layer in order to avoid excess loss of water through transpiration due to excess heat.
(ii) The waxy covering aids in protecting the plant against loss of water, mechanical injury and invasion by parasitic fungi.
(b) Epidermis is the outermost covering of cells in plants. It is usually made up of a single layer of cells. On aerial parts of a plant epidermal cells often secrete a waxy, water resistant layer on their outer surface to prevent loss of water from plant. The cells of epidermis are present in a continuous layer without intercellular spaces. Small pores are present on the epidermis of leaf. These pores are called as stomata, which help in gaseous exchange and transpiration. As the plant grows older, a strip of secondary meristem replaces the epidermis of stem and forms a thick cork.
