Q. Epiblema of roots is equivalent to

Anatomy of Flowering Plants

Solution:

Epiblema or piliferous layer (rhizodermis) is the outermost layer of young root which has thin-walled cells. Some of the cells give rise to root hairs which take part in the absorption of water and mineral salts. Epidermis is also outer most layer. Therefore epiblema of root is equivalent to epidermis.
