Q: Where does cork come from?

A: Cork is the phloem (aka phellem) layer of bark that is removed from the oak tree, Quercus suber. It is a renewable resource prized for its properties of compression, insulation (sound & heat), buoyancy and fire resistance. It is historically important for being the first biological material where individual cells were identified.
