Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of the skin: The skin is composed of multiple layers, with the outermost layer being the epidermis.

Identify the type of tissue that makes up the epidermis: The epidermis is primarily composed of stratified squamous epithelium.

Recognize the function of stratified squamous epithelium: This type of epithelium is designed to protect underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion, making it ideal for the skin's surface.

Differentiate between the types of epithelial tissues: Stratified squamous epithelium is characterized by multiple layers of cells, with the outermost being flat and scale-like, unlike simple columnar epithelium which is a single layer of tall, column-like cells.

Confirm the correct answer: Based on the structure and function of the skin, stratified squamous epithelium is the correct answer for the tissue found on the surface of the skin.
