What is a "pillar"?
A pillar is a vertical structure that stands alone and supports a building or other construction. It is usually cylindrical and made from materials like stone, concrete, or wood. Pillars provide strength and stability, helping to carry the weight of roofs, ceilings, or other elements above them. They can also serve as decorative features, enhancing the appearance of a space.
