Option 1 : Aerial parts only

Epidermal cells of Aerial parts of the plants often secrete a waxy water resistant layer on their outer surface.

  • The outermost layer covering all plant organs is called the epidermis.
  • It originates from the outermost layer of the apical meristem.
  •  It is in direct contact with the environment and so it modifies itself to adapt to the natural surroundings.
  • It thus protects the inner tissues from any natural calamities like high temperature, mechanical injury, external infection etc.
