The epidermis is composed of several layers of cells, including keratinocytes, which produce the protein keratin that gives the skin its strength and waterproof properties. Additionally, the epidermis also contains melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin responsible for skin color. Therefore, the statement "Epidermis is another name for your skin" is true.
