Cork is a type of tree bark and forms a dead outer protective layer on the tree.
Once harvested from the trees and made into corks for bottles, cork boards, etc. it is long dead.

Is cork alive?
A cork cell is a non living cell. These cells form a protective tissue that displaces the stem epidermis as the plant's diameter increases in size. These cells are produce from the living cork cambium. As the cork cambium cells divide, the push older cells towards the outside of the plant where they die and form cork and bark. Will it can The cells of the phellem are called cork cells, they are generated centrifugally, are non-living and have suberized cell walls. The phelloderm consists of cells given off towards the inside of the phellogen, forming the inner part of the periderm.
How do you know cork was alive at one point?
Cork is derived from the bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus suber), which is a living organism. The presence of cells, such as cork cells that provide insulation and buoyancy, indicates that cork was once part of a living tree. Furthermore, cork can only be harvested from a cork oak after it reaches a certain age, and the process of harvesting involves carefully stripping the bark without harming the tree, allowing it to continue growing. These factors collectively demonstrate that cork originates from a living plant.
If a stem has cork cambium is it woody or herbaceous?
If a stem has cork cambium, it is typically considered woody. The cork cambium (phellogen) is responsible for producing cork cells in woody plants, forming part of the protective outer bark. Herbaceous plants generally lack this cork cambium layer.
