Answer:

skin

Explanation:

As an outer layer that we can see and touch, the epidermis protects us from toxins, bacteria, and fluid loss. It consists of 5 sublayers of keratinocyte cells. These cells, produced in the deepest inner, basal layer, migrate to the surface of the skin. As they do so, they mature and go through a series of changes.
