Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The highly cornfield layer of the epidermis with scalelike dead cells that are full of keratin is called the B. Stratum corneum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The keratinised squames layer (stratum corneum) is the final layer. These are layers of dead cells, reduced to flattened scales, or squames, filled with densely packed keratin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cells of the stratum corneum contain a dense network of keratin, a protein that helps keep the skin hydrated by preventing water evaporation. These cells can also absorb water, further aiding in hydration. In addition, this layer is responsible for the “spring back” or stretchy properties of skin.
