How does the bark of a tree get food material to survive?
Bark is inactive in a tree but is constantly replaced by the active growth of the vascular cambium- which is just below the bark. Bark is basically a tree's skin on its branches and trunk.Just like damage to skin however, damage to bark (by mowers, scratching, pests, disease) can be very bad for the tree as damage to the vascular cambium could happen.
Can a tree survive without water?

Why does the pine tree have a thick bark?
Bark is the outer layer of the living tissue of the tree. As the living layer grows it pushes the bark layer to the outside, which stretches and cracks the bark. Bark protects the tree from things that would harm the living tissue of the tree. Dangers include pests such as beetles and termites, and the heat from fires. Bark also slows the evaporation from the living tissues that would make the sap too thick to travel down to the roots. Without bark, many trees could not survive in the hot, cold, pest infested areas that they live in.
How can I safely and effectively peel tree bark without harming the tree?
To safely and effectively peel tree bark without harming the tree, use a sharp knife or chisel to carefully remove small sections of bark, making sure not to cut too deeply into the tree's inner layers. Avoid peeling bark from the entire circumference of the tree, as this can disrupt the tree's ability to transport nutrients and water. It is best to only peel bark from small areas and to do so sparingly to minimize harm to the tree.
Why does removing the bark from a tree damage it?
* The bark is a tree's "skin". Removal of the bark (in most cases) increases the evaporation of necessary fluids, and allows for easier attack by predators / parasites. * also its removal will damage the phloem tissue starving the roots.

What might occur in moth population if the color of the tree bark returned to its natural color?
Those whose color was similar to that of the color of the bark would be more likely to survive because of their new camoflauge. They are more likely to survive because of hiding from predators, and the population will swing back towards the camoflauge similar to the bark of the tree (natural selection)
