dermal tissue: the tissue that functions to protect the plant from injury and water loss and covers the outside of the plant.
diffusion: the movement of molecules through a membrane from a region of high concentration to low concentration.

The epidermal tissue includes several differentiated cell types: epidermal cells, guard cells, subsidiary cells, and epidermal hairs (trichomes). The epidermal cells are the most numerous, largest, and least specialized.

The epidermal tissue functions in prevention of water loss and acts as a barrier to fungi and other invaders. Thus, epidermal cells are closely packed, with little intercellular space.
