71. This layer protects layers and is below stratum corneum

Explanation

The given correct answer is "Squamous cells." Squamous cells are a type of epithelial cell that forms the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. They provide a protective barrier and help prevent the loss of moisture from the skin. The stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer of the epidermis, is made up of dead squamous cells. Therefore, squamous cells are below the stratum corneum and play a crucial role in protecting the underlying layers of the skin.
