A structure that secretes oil is called an oil gland. In humans, the sebaceous glands are the primary type of oil gland, located in the skin and associated with hair follicles. They produce sebum, an oily substance that helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair. In plants, certain glands, such as those found in the leaves of some species, can also secrete oils for various functions, including protection against herbivores and environmental stress.
