How does the cork act as a protective tissue?
Answer:
Cork acts as a protective tissue as:
- Cork cells are dead
- Cells are compactly arranged
- They do not have intercellular spaces
- They have a chemical called suberin in their walls
- Suberin makes sure that gases and water cannot pass through
- Thus it protects the plants from mechanical injury and water loss by evaporation.
