About IN-OUT ports in verilog

[Selvakumaran_007]

I'm looking to write a code for a bi-directional buffer using verilog, I have a query regarding IN-OUT ports. Are they synthesizable? if so will they produce the required hardware?

Yes, they are synthesisable, but only at the top level. tri state buffers on exist within the pins of the device. Using them internally will just convert your code into muxes.
