What type of tissue prevents a kidney from floating?

The type of tissue that prevents a kidney from floating is called the renal fascia. The renal fascia is a connective tissue capsule that surrounds each kidney and helps to hold it in place. It consists of two layers: the outer renal fascia and the inner renal fascia. The outer renal fascia is a thin, fibrous layer that connects to the surrounding tissues. The inner renal fascia is a thicker, more elastic layer that lines the kidney and helps to protect it from damage.
