Epidermis could refer to:
In plants, the outermost layer of cells covering the leaves and young parts of a plant is the epidermis.
In vertebrates, epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin.
Epidermis
1. (Science: dermatology) The basal layer of the mammalian epidermis contains cells that undergo repeated divisions.

Epidermis
[Gr. epi - on, upon; Gr. dermis - skin, leather]. The outermost skin layer, derived from ectoderm.
Epidermis. A single layer of flattened cells at the surface. When first formed, epidermal cells have extensions — the root hairs — which greatly increase the surface area available for the uptake of nutrients from the soil.
epidermis -- The outermost layer of cells or skin. This tissue often contains specialized cells for defense, gas exchange, or secretion.
epidermis 1. The outermost layer of skin consisting of several layers of epithelial cells&emdash;notably, keratinocytes&emdash;and, in the inner layer of the epidermis, basal cells and melanocytes. 2.
Epidermis
The epidermal tissue functions in prevention of water loss and acts as a barrier to fungi and other invaders. Thus, epidermal cells are closely packed, with little intercellular space.
epidermis
(ep-eh-der-mis) [Gk. epi, on or over + derma, skin]
(1) The dermal tissue system in plants. (2) The outer covering of animals.

epidermis. The outermost layer of living cells on the surface of a plant or animal.
evapotranspiration. The loss of soil moisture due to evaporation from the soil surface and transpiration by plants.

epididymis
The long, coiled narrow tube running from the testis to the vas deferens in the higher vertebrates. It functions to store sperm.
epidermis The outer, nonvascular layer of skin of ectodermal origin; in invertebrates, a single layer of ectodermal epithelium.
epididymis Part of the sperm duct that is coiled and lying near the testis.
The epidermis consists of stratified epithelium which is arranged in four layers from within outward as follows: (a) stratum mucosum, (b) stratum granulosum, (c) stratum lucidum, and (d) stratum corneum.

In the extreme there are cells that we call the "terminally differentiated" cells, like the epidermis-those cells are terminally differentiated, they will never turn into anything else.
The dermal tissue of a plant, more specifically referred to as the epidermis, is an outer protective layer of typically polygonal cells, which helps defend against injury and invasion by foreign organisms.
Segre's research focuses on the dynamic process by which the epidermis maintains a proper balance between proliferation and differentiation.
While they may all have chitin, a shell created by the epidermis, crustaceans have an extra layer that is calcified. That calcification makes it much sturdier and much heavier. Arthropods also have very advanced sense organs.
leafminer - an insect living in and feeding upon cells between the upper and lower epidermis of a leaf; i.e.
In the vertebrates, melanocytes are derived from neural crest, migrate dorsolaterally as melanoblasts to reside in the basal layer of the epidermis.
Integument: The outer covering of the insect body that includes the cuticle and the epidermis.
