Cork is an external, secondary tissue taht is impermeable to water and gases. It acts as a protective tissue as it is composed of the dead cells. It contains a waxy substance which protects the stem against water loss, the invasion of insects into the stem, and prevents infections by bacteria and fungal spores.
