Solution
The correct option is C Cork The waterproof waxy substance present in the higher plants are known as suberin. Suberin is a main constituent of cork and is named after the cork oak, Quercus suber. Its main function is a barrier to movement of water and solutes. Suberin is highly hydrophobic and a somewhat 'rubbery' material.
