For most cells, it is the cell membrane.

Cells have a plasma membrane that is very selectively permeable i.e, will allow entry of substances that are necessary for the cell functioning.

In case of an egg cell, it is surrounded by follicular cells. It provides protection from various acidic conditions.

For a plant cell, the cell wall serves as a barrier.

Tissue that covers organs?

The tissue that covers organs is called epithelial tissue. These cells form a protective barrier against infections, regulate the passage of molecules, and provide a smooth surface for organs to function properly. Epithelial tissue can be found lining internal cavities and organs throughout the body.
