Which corium produces the horny sole?

The sole horn comes from the solar corium. This corium lies on the bottom side of the hoof beneath the pedal bone and nourishes and produces the keratin that forms the horny sole. In contrast, the coronary band makes the hoof wall, and the perioplic corium creates the thin periople covering the proximal wall. The frog has its own tissue, but the horny sole specifically originates from the solar corium.
