This fruit has a very thick peal. A dense outer shell protects a fleshy layer that looks like fat (but isn't). The mandarin orange skin must be behind the invention of protective cushioning. When I examined it under microscope The material of the skin looks like a tangle of heavy threads both in and out. The cells are irregular lumps of tissue scattered through thread-like structures.
