they are flat cells. they can either be simple (one layer) or stratified (multiple layers)
a single layer of cells beneath the cuticle

Simple squamous epithelium consists of a single layer of flat cells that allow for diffusion to occur. This type of epithelium is found in areas where rapid diffusion or filtration is necessary, such as in the lungs for gas exchange or in the lining of blood vessels.
Cheek epithelial cells are typically squamous epithelial cells, which are flat and scale-like in shape. They are arranged in a single layer and are known for their thin and broad structure.
Resembling squamous epithelial cells means having a flat, scale-like shape similar to the cells found in the outermost layer of the skin or lining of certain organs. These cells are thin and arranged in a single layer, providing a protective barrier.
Simple epithelial cells.
Capillary walls consists of a single layer of flat endothelium
The epidermal layer with a single layer of columnar cells is the stratum basale (basal layer). This layer is located at the bottom of the epidermis and contains basal cells that constantly divide to replenish the upper layers of the skin.
The cell of an onion peel is a plant cell. The cells of the onion peel do not have chloroplasts because the onion bulb (white part) grows under ground and its cells do not carry out photosynthesis.
Is the Epidermis
A needle would pierce the skin from the outside inward: A layer of flat cells called as Stratum corneum, then a layer of almost transparent cells called Stratum Lucidium, then a layer of cells which look granular and is called the Stratum granulosum, next is a layer of cells called the Stratum Spinosum and lastly, a single cell layer with a prominent nucleus in each cell called the Stratum basale (the growing layer).
