Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of epithelium: Epithelium is a type of tissue that lines the surfaces and cavities of the body, playing roles in protection, secretion, and absorption.

Learn the classification of epithelium based on layers: Epithelium can be classified as simple (one layer of cells) or stratified (more than one layer of cells).

Analyze the term 'stratified epithelium': Stratified epithelium consists of multiple layers of cells, making it suitable for areas subject to wear and tear, such as the skin or lining of the mouth.

Compare with other options: Simple epithelium has only one layer of cells, pseudostratified epithelium appears layered but is actually a single layer, and transitional epithelium is specialized for stretching, as seen in the bladder.

Conclude that the correct answer is 'stratified epithelium' because it matches the description of epithelium with more than one layer of cells.
