$\colorbox{pink}{List the role of cork in plants.}$

➪ The function of cork in plant body is to provide protection. It protects plants from external injury and infection.

➪ It also prevents dessication.

➪ Since cork does not catch fire easily, it is used for insulation, shock-absorber, linoleum.

➪ The walls of cork cells contain a chemical called suberin, which makes them impermeable to water and gases.

➪ Thus, cork cells prevent water loss from plants and also make them more resistant to bacterial and fungal infection.
