perirenal fat
The perirenal fat capsule.
Renal fascia
The tough fibrous coat around the kidney is called the renal capsule. It serves as a protective layer, helping to maintain the shape of the kidney and providing a barrier against infection and trauma. The renal capsule is composed of dense connective tissue, which contributes to its strength and resilience.

The protective layers of renal tissue, from the layer next to the kidney to the most outer layer, include the renal capsule, which is a thin fibrous layer directly covering the kidney. Outside the renal capsule is the perirenal fat, providing cushioning and insulation. Beyond the perirenal fat is the renal fascia, a connective tissue layer that anchors the kidney to surrounding structures. Finally, the most outer layer is the pararenal fat, which surrounds the renal fascia and further protects the kidney.
The renal capsule is an inner fibrous membrane that surrounds the kidney and prevents infections from entering the kidney.
When we remove the renal capsule from a kidney, Renal Cortex becomes clearly visible.
No, Bowman's capsule is not the kidney's smallest functional unit. That title belongs to the nephron, part of which is called Bowman's capsule.
Renal Capsule.
The renal capsule surrounds the kidneys. It is made of a tough connective tissue that also helps to protect them.

I believe you mean the renal capsule. The renal capsule is the outer most part of the kidney consiting of tough fiberous tissues that protect the kidneys.
