The skin has two major layers including the epidermis.

Explanation:

The skin (integument) is body’s largest organ and it is approximately 1.6 to 1.9 square meters in the average-sized adult.

The integumentary system describes the skin and its appendages: the hair, nails, and skin glands.

Epidermis is above the dermis and is made of keratinized stratified squamous ET (epithelial tissue).
