Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skin is composed of two layers, the epidermis, the outer layer, which is derived from ectoderm, and the dermis, derived from mesoderm. The two layers are firmly adherent one to another with the dermis corresponding to the lamina propria of mucous membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.

Detailed explanation-3: -The stratum basale (also called the stratum germinativum) is the deepest epidermal layer and attaches the epidermis to the basal lamina, below which lie the layers of the dermis. The cells in the stratum basale bond to the dermis via intertwining collagen fibers, referred to as the basement membrane.
