The bark of a tree is a tough covering that protects the living wood inside. It stops the tree from losing too much water. It also stops too many insects and parasites from attacking the wood. The bark also helps to protect the tree from very cold or very hot weather. Bark is actually made up of two layers. The inside layer is a soft, living, cork-like material. The outer layer, which you can see, is a hard, dead shell.
