What is in a cork?

How is a cork made?
Here's a peek into how corks are made. First, a cork harvester carefully strips the cork bark from the tree. Then the cork bark dries out on pallets for several months. After drying, the cork goes into stainless steel tanks where it is submerged in water to be rinsed, cleaned and re-hydrated.
Are corks still made of cork?
