Answer 2

Answer:

1. Cork is an impermeable buoyant material, the phellem layer of bark tissue that is harvested for commercial use primarily from Quercus suber, which is endemic to southwest Europe and northwest Africa. Cork is composed of suberin, a hydrophobic substance
2. Cork is obtained from the new outer sheath of bark formed by the inner bark after the original rough outer bark is removed. The outer sheath may then be stripped and will form again.
3. The walls of cork cells contain a chemical called suberin, which makes them impermeable to water and gases. Thus, cork cells prevent water loss from plants and also make them more resistant to bacterial and fungal infection
