The solar corium is responsible for forming which structure?

The solar corium forms the horny sole. This sensitive tissue on the underside of the hoof produces keratinized cells that become the sole horn as the hoof grows. The hoof wall comes from the coronary band, the frog from the frog corium, and the white line is simply the boundary where the sole meets the wall, not a structure produced by the solar corium.
