How does the carle act as protective tissue ​

Answer 1

$\huge{\red{\mathtt{\underline{Answer:}}}}$

The cork cells are dead and compactly packed with no intercellular space. Their cell walls are coated with a waxy substance, suberin, which do not allow water and gases to pass through. Therefore, it protects the plant against mechanical injury and also prevents the loss of water by evaporation.
