Several reasons you can talk about:

1) Keratinization helps to facilitate the shedding and rejuvenation of keratinocytes, which help to prevent colonization on the epidermis.

2) Keratinization helps to form a tough barrier.

3) Keratinization helps to slow down absorption.

Good luck for now, please mark as solved.
