That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The skin has various functions, including protection from infection and injury, sensation by detecting temperature, pressure, touch, and pain, and secretion of sebum to lubricate and protect the skin. However, excretion of sweat, which is 80% water and 20% salts, is not a function of the skin. Sweat is primarily produced by sweat glands and is involved in regulating body temperature.
