Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Insulation: The hypodermis insulates your body to protect you from the cold and produces sweat to regulate your body temperature, protecting you from the heat. Protecting your body: The hypodermis allows your skin to move smoothly over the tissues and muscles underneath it.

Detailed explanation-2: -The subcutaneous tissue is essential because of its role in padding the body. This enables it to protect the bones, muscles, and organs under the skin from physical damage. It does this by storing excess fat around the body in the subcutaneous layer, to cushion the body and protect it from injury.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fatty layer of the hypodermis or the subcutaneous layer that is present beneath the dermis functions as a heat insulator. This layer is composed of fat and collagen cells and is closest to the muscles. The hypodermis prevents heat loss and also acts as a shock absorber to protect the internal organs from injury.
