Protective tissues prevent desiccation (loss of water from plant body), infection, and mechanical injury.Helps in preventing the entry of pathogens.Cork, which is a protective tissue, is light and does not catch fire easily.So,they are used as insulators,shock absorbers,linoleum (in flooring),sports goods (shuttle cocks,cricket balls,wooden paddles in table tennis,etc.).Cork can also be used commercially.
