First Leaf!

My baby tomato grew her first leafs today! These leaves will aid in transpiration and photosynthesis to help my little baby grow. Isn't she beautiful? My baby corn hasn't grown at all yet though.. Leaves and basically the whole outside part of any plant is made up of dermal tissue, which protects it from water loss and injury. A thin, waxy layer called the cuticle covers the dermal tissue, protecting the epidermal cells which are the most common cell type in dermal tissue. Gases and water enter and leave the plant through the stomata in the dermal tissues.
