Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Disjoint-grounding review (#62): was UBERON:0002416 'integumental system', an ANIMAL organ system, for a plant leaf surface — matched across kingdoms on a synonym. The slice has no plain plant-surface or phyllosphere term; the nearest, ENVO:01001032, is specifically a biofilm on one.
