The integumentary system primarily serves several functions, but among the options provided, none are directly associated with the integumentary system. Instead, its main functions include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory perception, and production of vitamin D.
If I had to choose an answer that fits, "absorbs water" might be the closest, as the skin can play a role in preventing water loss, but it does not absorb water in the way a sponge would. Therefore, none of the options are explicitly correct functions of the integumentary system.
