➡The cork cells are dead cells and do not have any intercellular spaces.

➡The cell wall of the cork cells are coated with suberin (a waxy substance).

➡Suberin makes these cells impermeable to water and gases.

➡Cork is protective in function,it protects underlying tissues from desiccation, infection and mechanical injury
