The bark is the equivalent of human skin. It provides 'pathways' for the sap to rise upwards and along branches, stems and leaves. It also provides a certain amount of protection from attacks by animals, birds etc.

Why does the pine tree have a thick bark?
Bark is the outer layer of the living tissue of the tree. As the living layer grows it pushes the bark layer to the outside, which stretches and cracks the bark. Bark protects the tree from things that would harm the living tissue of the tree. Dangers include pests such as beetles and termites, and the heat from fires. Bark also slows the evaporation from the living tissues that would make the sap too thick to travel down to the roots. Without bark, many trees could not survive in the hot, cold, pest infested areas that they live in.

Is it true that redwoods don't burn down?
The wood of the tree will burn some what like Pine. But the bark is 6 inches or more thick and has natural flame retardant properties. as long as the wood is not exposed by the bark haven been broken off or there is not a large amount of dry fuel like dead falls next to the base of the tree it will not burn normal brush ans weeds that grow in the area of the trees would not burn a long time and will not degrade the bark to the point that the wood of the tree will start to burn.
