    Epithelium is a tissue i.e. a group of cells packed together. Squamous epithelium is a tissue in a scale-like form (Latin:Squama meaning scale), and not in a stratified form.
    In human anatomy, squamous epithelium can be found in the kidney--in Glomerulus and Bowman's capsule.
    In plants, you can see it by scraping out a single,transparent scale of ONION under water, and watching it under microscope.
