The dominant function of stratified epithelium is to protect underlying structures from mechanical wear and tear.
Simple stratified epithelium lines the anus.
depends on the type of epithelium. I'm assuming you are asking about stratified squamous epithelium as that is the most common type. It is found in areas of the body that are subjected to a lot of stress (environmental, mechanical) such as the skin, the anus, the oropharynx, and the vagina. Stratified columnar epithelium is found throughout the GI tract.

The layer of the digestive tract that is composed of stratified and columnar epithelium is the mucosa. This layer is responsible for absorption and secretion in the digestive system.

stratified squamous epithelial and simple cuboidal epethilium.
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a single layer of cells that appear to be layered due to varying cell heights, while stratified columnar epithelium has multiple layers of cells. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is found in the respiratory tract and functions in secretion and absorption, while stratified columnar epithelium is found in the male urethra and functions in protection.
The function of stratified columnar epithelium is protection and secretion. It is arranged in multiple layers and is commonly found in the ocular conjunctiva of the eye, female uterus, male urethra and many other organs.
Stratified squamous epithelium consists of several layers of cells, which protect the areas of the body It can be found in areas such as the esophagus, mouth, and the outer portion of the skin (epidermis).
Simple columnar epithelium cells will heal faster than stratified squamous cells. The stratified squamous cells rarely have contact with blood.
Simple stratified epithelium lines the anus.
The function of the stratified squamous epithelium lining the oropharynx and laryngopharynx is to protect the underlying tissues from abrasion, chemical damage, and microbial invasion due to the constant exposure to food and fluids passing through these regions during swallowing. This type of epithelium is well adapted to withstand mechanical stress and provides a barrier to pathogens.
The epidermis is primarily composed of stratified squamous epithelium. This type of epithelium is well-suited to protect the skin from physical damage and external threats.
