Explanation;

-Stratified squamous epithelium is a type of tissue found covering and lining parts of the body. In this tissue, cells are flattened, joined tightly together, and stacked. The major function of this tissue type is protection, as it is found in areas that undergo wear-and-tear.

-Stratified squamous epithelium can be keratinized or nonkeratinized, depending on the location it is found in. Keratinized epithelium, also called "cornified" is composed of numerous layers of dead squamous cells.
