Homonym: Blocks (Obstacles)
Blocks are solid, typically rectangular or cubic pieces of material, often made from wood, plastic, or foam. They are commonly used in construction, play, and educational settings. In children's toys, blocks help develop fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and creativity as kids stack, sort, and build structures.
In the context of technology, particularly in computer science, a block can refer to a unit of data storage or a segment of code. For example, in blockchain technology, a block contains a list of transactions and is linked to previous blocks, forming a secure and immutable chain of information.
