The outmost layer of cells covering a plant, or the outmost layer of cells covering of the body of an animal. In invertebrates the epidermis is normally only one cell thick and is covered by an impermeable cuticle. In vertebrates the epidermis is the thinner of the two layers of skin In plants, the epidermis is overlaid by a cuticle and its functions are principally to protect the plant from injury and to reduce water loss.
