Root epidermis

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The cuticle is a waxy,protective layer covering the epidermis of aerial parts of plants,such as leaves and stems,to prevent water loss through transpiration.Root epidermis,also known as epiblema or piliferous layer,does not secrete a cuticle because its primary function is the absorption of water and minerals from the soil.If a cuticle were present on the root epidermis,it would hinder the absorption process.Therefore,the root epidermis is the correct answer.
