The bark of a tree is impervious to gases and water because bark cells are dead cells of the epidermis and compactly arranged without intercellular spaces. They contain a chemical called suberin in their walls that make them impervious to gases and water and it doesn't allow gases or water into the tree as bark cells are in the bark outer most layer of the tree.
The water cycle is a system that shows how the water moves around in different states to transport itself. It uses different states which show a different transportation such as evaporation or condensation. The water cycle can also use continuous movement above and below the earths surface. There are five main steps to the water cycle which are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, and runoff but there are still many more.
Hope this helps! :)
