Bark, in a broad sense, refers to all the tissues outside the vascular cambium of the stem (old tree trunk). It serves as the protective structure on the periphery of the trunk, that is, the bark that can be stripped from the trunk during wood harvesting or processing. From inside to outside, it includes the phloem, cortex, multiple layers of accumulated periderm, and all dead tissues outside the cork layer._x000D_
