What is "cork"?

Cork is a light, spongy material that comes from the bark of the cork oak tree. It is often used for making bottle stoppers, flooring, and insulation because it is soft, flexible, and resistant to moisture. Cork is also a renewable material, as the bark can be harvested without harming the tree, making it an environmentally friendly option. It has a natural ability to absorb sound and is often used in places where noise reduction is needed. Additionally, cork is durable, lightweight, and biodegradable.
