What is the term for the outer softer part that finally becomes the core of a tree?
Phloem is the term for the outer softer part that finally becomes the cork of a tree.Specifically, phloem functions as an "inner bark." It is located between the outer bark and the cambium cell layer. It lives for just a short while to transport food. It turns into cork when it dies and thereby serves as part of the outer protective bark of a tree.
What does the Phloem of a leaf do?
transports sugars
Is a bark an algae?
No. Bark is part of the tree, not an independent organism.
Why the practice of girdling would cause the tree to die?
Girdling damages the phloem tissue which is meant for transporting the food material to the growing parts of the root & shoot system hence it is fatal for trees.

What causes bark to form on a tree?

What are parts of a willow tree?

Which of these terms best describes tree bark?
A tree bark can be best described as tissues on a woody stem or root outside the vascular cambium.
Why does removing the bark from a tree damage it?
* The bark is a tree's "skin". Removal of the bark (in most cases) increases the evaporation of necessary fluids, and allows for easier attack by predators / parasites. * also its removal will damage the phloem tissue starving the roots.
Why is bark important to a tree?
Bark is a tree's natural armor and protects from external threats. Bark also has several physical functions, one is ridding the tree of wastes by absorbing and locking them into its dead cells and resins. Also, the bark's phloem transports large quantities of nutrients throughout the tree.

What are the parts of the trees?
bark and core-wood
What does a bark beetle eat?
Bark beetles bore through the bark to eat the tasty nutrients in the inner bark known as the phloem and cambium layers. If they eat all the way around the tree, they will girdle the tree and the tree will die. Girdling cuts the trees food tubes and it will be unable to send nutrients up and down the trunk.
