What is the texture of a palm trees bark?

The texture of a palm tree's bark varies depending on the species but is generally smooth and fibrous. Unlike many other trees, palm bark does not have a rigid outer layer; instead, it is often covered with a layer of soft, fibrous material. As the palm matures, the bark may develop a more rugged appearance with horizontal or vertical ridges. Overall, palm tree bark tends to be less woody and more flexible than that of typical deciduous trees.
