The thin layer covering the outside of cells is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. The cell membrane is a vital component of all cells, whether they are prokaryotic (lacking a nucleus) or eukaryotic (containing a nucleus). It serves as a selective barrier that separates the internal environment of the cell from the external environment, controlling the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
The cell membrane is primarily composed of lipids (such as phospholipids), proteins, and carbohydrates. The phospholipid bilayer forms the basic structural framework of the membrane, with proteins embedded within or attached to the surface. These proteins play various roles, including transport of molecules, cell signaling, and maintaining the structural integrity of the membrane.
Overall, the cell membrane is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and allowing cells to interact with their surroundings while protecting their internal components.

Cell Membrane so everyone says
If one looks at the smallest roots plants have (on a mature plant), or on the root tip of a newly sprouting seed, one will see tiny little hair-like structures. You might need a magnifying glass to see them, because they are so small. These are the root hairs. They usually look like a fuze on the outside of these little roots. There is a single layer of cells covering the outside of these small roots, which is called the epidermis. These cells have a thin outside layer called the cell wall. These single cells of the epidermis produce an extension off of this outside cell wall that is long and thin. This is the root hair. As the root continues to grow, new cells in the epidermis start producing new root hairs, while older root hairs start to disappear. The root hair is not a single cell by itself, but rather a long, thin extension of the epidermal cell. It is used by the plant to increase the total surface area of the epidermal cells, which are use by the plant to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the Crust.GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
its called a mantel i got it from my 7th grade textbook enjoy peace, love, joy...merry Christmas
the Crust
Pleurococcus sometimes forms a thin green covering on the moist, shaded side of trees, rocks, and soil. The spherical cells, either solitary or clumped together, have heavy cell walls that protect the cells against excessive water loss. Each cell contains a large dense chloroplast, either lobed or plate-shaped. Reproduction is by vegetative cell division only. It is a menber of the algae family.Source: Encyclopedia Britannica

Why does flex have a thin layer of plastic on outside
thin covering
The stingray body covering is a thin layer of skin. This layer of skin is where the stingray's venom is concentrated.
