    тАв Cork (outer bark of trees) is water-resistant due to the presence of suberin, a hydrophobic (water-repelling) substance. тАв Lignin provides rigidity but does not make cork water-resistant. тАв Pectin and Hemicellulose are part of the plant cell wall but do not contribute to water resistance.
