Yes, onion cells do have stomata, although they are not excessively frequent.
Understanding Stomata in Onion Cells
While often associated with leaves, stomata can be found in other epidermal tissues.
- Reference: The outer epidermis has cells of many sizes, with an irregular design, and has stomata (not excessively frequent in this case, but undoubtedly present).
Characteristics of Stomata in Onion Epidermis
The reference highlights that stomata are present in the outer epidermis of onion cells, although not in large numbers. This means that while not as prevalent as in photosynthetic tissues like leaves, they are still a functional part of the onion's cellular structure.
