name: cuticle
def: "Tough but flexible, non-mineral outer coverings of an organism, or parts of an organism, that provide protection. Cuticles are non-homologous, differing in their origin, structure and chemical composition[WP]." [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3348965&group_id=36855&atid=440764, Wikipedia:Cuticle]
comment: EDITOR_NOTE TODO - check cuticle vs exoskeleton. Note that GO has a very generic definition of cuticle. See also arthropod-anatomy ontology. Note in ncit Cuticle is a plant part
comment: This is a heterogeneous grouping class: cuticles in different clades are non-homologous, differing in their origin, structure and chemical composition. Previously this class carried an in_taxon Eumetazoa constraint, but this was removed because the constraint caused downstream taxon constraint violations (e.g. for plant annotations to GO terms whose logical definitions reference this class - see https://github.com/obophenotype/uberon/issues/3694 and https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/30555). Plant cuticle is represented separately in the Plant Ontology (PO). Clade-specific subclasses (e.g. chitin-based cuticle, nematode cuticle) carry their own taxon constraints and should be used in preference to this grouping class wherever possible.
