True.

Explanation: Normal epidermis is stratified squamous keratinized epithelium — mitotically active basal (cuboidal/columnar) cells in the deeper stratum basale, with progressively flatter, keratin-filled cells toward the surface (stratum corneum) that are dead. This layered organization reflects normal differentiation and replacement.
