Bark.
The protective outer layer of trees is called the bark. It helps protect the tree from external threats such as pests, diseases, and harsh weather conditions. Bark also serves as a protective barrier that aids in water retention and nutrient transport.
The homograph for a tree covering is "bark." This term can refer to the protective outer layer of a tree's trunk or the sound a dog makes.
The cerebral cortex is named because it is the outermost layer of the brain (cerebrum), analogous to the bark of a tree. It plays a key role in complex processes such as memory, attention, perception, and consciousness.
The soft layer just beneath the bark in tree trunks is called the cambium layer. It is responsible for producing new cells that allow the tree to grow in diameter.

The outermost layer of a tree is called the bark. It serves as a protective barrier against environmental factors such as insects, diseases, and weather. Bark also helps transport water and nutrients throughout the tree.

Carving into a tree's bark damages the protective outer layer, which is essential for the tree's health. This outer layer, called the cambium, helps transport nutrients and water. When it's injured, it can lead to infections, disease, and hinder the tree's ability to grow and thrive. Over time, such damage can weaken or even kill the tree.

The outside of a tree is primarily composed of bark, which acts as a protective layer. This bark helps insulate the tree from extreme temperatures, ward off pests, and prevent pathogens from entering the 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.
