Subpapillary plexus nourishes the dermal papillae and epidermis.

Explanation:

The superficial subpapillary plexus could also be regarded to as superficial plexus. It is composed of postcapillary venules found at the junction of the papillary and reticular dermis and the lower plexus at the dermal subcutaneous interface. It lies below the dermal papillae, and supplies the capillaries in the dermal papillae. The pink color of skin is mainly due to the blood seen in venules of this plexus.
