Simple cuboidal epithelium is composed of a single layer of cube - shaped cells. Its main functions are related to absorption and secretion. For example, in the kidneys (renal tubules), it is involved in the reabsorption of substances and in glands, it participates in the secretion of various substances. Protection is more associated with stratified squamous epithelium, support is a function of connective tissue, phagocytosis is done by cells like macrophages, and storage is a function of adipose tissue or some other specialized cells/tissues, not simple cuboidal epithelium.
