Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cortex is the outside layer or covering of many body organs, so the renal cortex is the outer layer of the kidney. The renal cortex is also known as the kidney cortex. The cortex surrounds the inside of the organ, which is called the medulla .

Detailed explanation-2: -The renal cortex is the outer part of the kidney. It contains the glomerulus and convoluted tubules. The renal cortex is surrounded on its outer edges by the renal capsule, a layer of fatty tissue. Together, the renal cortex and capsule house and protect the inner structures of the kidney.

Detailed explanation-3: -The outermost covering of the kidney is covered by the renal capsule, a tough fibrous layer. Above the renal capsule, is the perirenal fat capsule, which helps to keep the kidneys in their places. The outermost layer is called the renal fascia.

Detailed explanation-4: -The kidneys are made up by three external layers, which include the renal fascia (the outermost layer), the perirenal fat capsule, and lastly, the innermost layer, the renal capsule, which then surround the space of the renal cortex.
