Answer 2

Tissue system

Step-by-step explanation:

• Much like human skin, a plant has a tissue system which consists of a group of cells that work together for a very specific function and forms the first line of defense against physical damage and disease
• This tissue system is called the dermal tissue system, and it is the plant's outer protective coating
• The dermal system itself consists of a layer of tightly packed cells called the epidermis
• Epidermis regulates exchange of gases and and acts as a protective barrier against any injury or infection
• The epidermis in turn is covered with a waxy coating called the cuticle, which helps prevent water loss through the epidermis
