What's the difference between endodermis and skin?

Endodermis


Definition:

  • (n.) A layer of cells forming a kind of cuticle inside of the proper cortical layer, or surrounding an individual fibrovascular bundle.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) (ii) The cells interpolate new microtubules at a rate which is characteristic of the cell, and, in the endodermis, of the face of the cell, while the cell elongates.
  • (4) Bacteria were observed between and in cells of the cortex, in intercellular spaces between the cortex and endodermis, in xylem cells, and in and between pith cells.
  • (5) An endodermis separated the inner tissues of the nodule from the surrounding cortex.

  • (9) This suggests that the linkage of the pectic substances within the wall is mainly by calcium bridges in the intercellular junctions of most types of cells under study (epidermis, subepidermis, fiber layer, and endodermis) and in the outer part (close to the cuticle) of the wall of the epidermal cells.
  • (10) Particular attention was directed to the outermost primordium cells, derived by meristematic activity from the endodermis, and to the contiguous cortical parenchyma cells.

Skin


Definition:

  • (n.) The external membranous integument of an animal.
  • (n.) The hide of an animal, separated from the body, whether green, dry, or tanned; especially, that of a small animal, as a calf, sheep, or goat.

  • (n.) The covering, as of planking or iron plates, outside the framing, forming the sides and bottom of a vessel; the shell; also, a lining inside the framing.
  • (v. t.) To strip off the skin or hide of; to flay; to peel; as, to skin an animal.
  • (v. t.) To cover with skin, or as with skin; hence, to cover superficially.
