treebark
Outer trunk layer
Treebark is the protective outer covering of a tree trunk and branches.
The compound form emphasizes the material itself rather than its location—bark considered as a substance for crafts, mulch, or traditional medicine: treebark extract, treebark tea.
The two-word form tree bark is more common in general usage.
