How does the cork act as a protective tissue?


Answer :

The cork act as a protective tissue because its cells are dead and the arrangement of cells is so dense that there is no intercellular space which results in providing the tree a compact support and protection from the outer environment.

Deposition of suberin is observed on the walls of the cells that make them impervious to water and solutes.
