What is a "doorstep"?
A doorstep is a flat or slightly raised area located at the entrance of a door, often made of materials such as wood, stone, or concrete. This feature provides a transition between the exterior and interior of a building, allowing people to step into or out of a space safely. Doorsteps can also help keep water from entering the building, acting as a barrier against rain or snow. They may be designed for aesthetic purposes, enhancing the entrance's appearance while offering a practical function. Additionally, doorsteps can serve as a convenient place to place items while entering or exiting.
