  4. The outermost layer of cells in a plant is called the epidermis. It serves as a protective barrier, covering the entire surface of the plant and shielding it from water loss, mechanical injury, and pathogens.

  5. Most epidermal cells are relatively flat, with their outer and side walls thicker than the inner wall. This structure helps provide protection against water loss, mechanical injury, and parasitic fungi.
