What is a "wheel"?
A wheel is a circular part that allows a vehicle to move by rolling along the ground. It is typically made of metal or other strong materials and is attached to an axle, which helps it rotate. Wheels are essential for all types of vehicles, from cars to bicycles, as they support the vehicle's weight and provide the movement needed for travel. The tire, which covers the wheel, provides grip and helps cushion the vehicle as it moves. Without wheels, vehicles would not be able to move efficiently.
