Which structure protects the plant body against the invasion of parasites?

 

Answers (1)

  • The epidermis serves as a protective barrier for plants, guarding against the invasion of parasites.
  • It forms the outer layer of plant organs that come into direct contact with the environment.
  • This epidermis is additionally coated with a layer of fatty substance known as cuticle.
  • The epidermis only has interruptions in areas where stomata are located. Any substance that enters the plant must first pass through this epidermal layer.
