human skin and the waxy covering of some plants are examples of which kind of tissue?

They are examples of epithelial tissue (also called epidermal tissue in plants).

Quick Scoop

• In humans, the outer layer of skin is made of epithelial tissue, which covers and protects body surfaces.

• In plants, the outer layer (epidermis) plus its waxy cuticle is a protective epidermal/epithelial-like tissue that covers and waterproofs surfaces.

So, both human skin and the waxy covering of some plants are classified as epithelial tissue.
