Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trichomes are hair-like structures that are outgrowths of the epidermis and occur on leaves, stems, and other aerial parts of plants. They can have a variety of functions, such as reducing water loss, deterring herbivores, and providing a barrier against fungal and bacterial pathogens. Root hairs (A) are also outgrowths of the epidermis but occur on the roots, while sieve cells (B) are specialised cells in the phloem tissue and cuticle (C) is a waxy layer on the surface of the epidermis that reduces water loss.
