#stratum one of several parallel layers of material arranged one on top of another (such as a layer of tissue or cells in an organism)
supertype: #layer a relatively thin sheetlike expanse or region lying over or under another
subtype: #epidermis__cuticle the outer layer of the skin covering the exterior body surface of vertebrates
subtype: #mantle.epidermis__pallium (zoology) a protective layer of epidermis in mollusks or brachiopods that secretes a substance forming the shell
subtype: #stratum_corneum__stratumcorneum__corneum__horny_layer__hornylayer the outermost layer of the epidermis consisting of dead cells that slough off
subtype: #stratum_lucidum__stratumlucidum the layer of epidermis immediately under the stratum corneum in the skin of the palms and soles
subtype: #stratum_granulosum__stratumgranulosum the layer of epidermis just under the stratum corneum or (on the palms and soles) just under the stratum lucidum; contains cells (with visible granules) that die and move to the surface
subtype: #stratum_germinativum__stratumgerminativum__stratum_basale__stratumbasale__malpighian_layer__rete_Malpighii the innermost layer of the epidermis
subtype: #dermis__corium__derma the deep vascular inner layer of the skin
subtype: #cambium the inner layer of the periosteum
subtype: #paries__wall (anatomy) a layer (a lining or membrane) that encloses a structure; "stomach walls"
subtype: #abdominal_wall__abdominalwall a wall of the abdomen
subtype: #substratum__substrate any stratum lying underneath another
subtype: #horizon a specific layer or stratum of soil or subsoil in a vertical cross section of land
subtype: #soil_horizon a layer in a soil profile
subtype: #A-horizon__A_horizon the top layer of a soil profile; usually contains humus
subtype: #B-horizon__B_horizon immediately below the A-horizon; contains deposits of organic matter leached from surface soils
subtype: #C-horizon__C_horizon beneath the B-horizon and above the bedrock; consisting of weathered rock
subtype: #geological_horizon a layer of rock with a particular composition (especially of fossils); for dating the stratum
subtype: #seam.stratum__bed a stratum of ore or coal thick enough to be mined with profit; "he worked in the coal beds"
subtype: #coal_seam a seam of coal
subtype: #bed.stratum (geology) a stratum of rock (especially sedimentary rock); "they found a bed of standstone"
subtype: #ore_bed__orebed a stratum of ore
