Resin is a sticky, flammable organic substance that is typically secreted by plants, especially trees. It is composed mainly of terpenes and other organic compounds. Resins are used by plants as a defense mechanism against injury and pathogens, as they can seal wounds and deter herbivores. In addition to its natural occurrence, resin has many industrial applications.
