Answer 2

Hypodermis

Step-by-step explanation:

• The hypodermis is also known as the subcutaneous layer which lies beneath the dermis.
• It is the main storage site of the fat and consists of the adipocytes.
• It helps to fasten the skin over the surface that lies beneath it and further provides insulation and shock absorbance properties.
• It further allows the skin to move freely over the underlying surface such as bone and muscle without undergoing any wear and tear.
