Best Answer

Simple columnar is more resistant to being torn apart because of its elongated, column-like structure. Simple columnar epithelium is thicker than simple squamous. Simple squamous is also a single layer of cells, but its cells are flattened. This makes it thinner and much more prone to being torn to the thicker simple columnar epithelium.
