Cork cambium results in the formation of cork which becomes impermeable to water due to the accumulation of

  • resins

  • lignins

  • suberin

  • tannins.

Cork is impervious to water because it has deposition of suberin. The thin walls of those cells are saturated with fatty waxy substance, called suberin which makes cork almost impervious to water and air.
