A Correct answer
Explanation

Protective tissues, such as the epidermis and cork, form the outermost layer of plant organs and are often covered with a waxy cuticle to prevent excessive water loss and protect against mechanical injury. Vascular tissues like xylem and phloem are involved in transport rather than preventing water loss.
