Skin mainly. It's the most waterproof structure many organisms have. Of course, many animals also need to protect their skin from drying out by keeping wet, like frogs and slugs. ^^
dermis (skin)
integumentary
Epithelial tissue is the type of tissue that covers and protects underlying tissue in the body. It forms the outermost layer of the skin and lines various organs and cavities, serving as a protective barrier against physical, chemical, and microbial damage.
Elastin for flexibility. Collagen for structure.
Your rib cage protects your heart and stomach,because the rib cage is kind of a cage and when you get hit there,it dosent hurt your organs but it can damage the rib cage.
Well the rib cage surrounds and protects the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys and other internal organs from damage from external trauma. So the bones act as a shield for the organs.
