The epiblema of roots is equivalent to C. Epidermis.

In plant anatomy, the epiblema, also known as the root cap, is a protective covering of cells that covers the tip of a root. It helps the root navigate through the soil and protects the delicate growing tissues behind it. The epidermis, on the other hand, is the outermost layer of cells in the plant's roots, stems, and leaves, serving as a protective barrier against water loss and pathogens.
