___________

Here is your answer..

A cork cell is non-living and has cell walls that are composed of a waxy substance that is highly impermeable to gases and water called suberin.

As the plant grows old, the outer protective layer that is the epidermis goes under certain changes. The epidermis of the young stem is replaced by a strip of secondary meristem called cork cambium or phellogen.

1. Cork is light weight and does not catch fire easily, due to these properties it is used in making insulators, shock absorbers and sports goods.
2. They protect the plant from harmful microbes.
3. They protect the plant form mechanical injuries.
4. They prevent the loss of water by evaporation and transpiration.
