Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The innermost basal layer, stratum basale (SB), consists in undifferentiated keratinocytes, stem cells, melanocytes, and Merkel cells. On top of this layer resides the spinous layer, stratum spinosum (SS).
Detailed explanation-2: -As the name suggests, the stratum spinosum is spiny in appearance due to the protruding cell processes that join the cells via a structure called a desmosome. The desmosomes interlock with each other and strengthen the bond between the cells.
