What is "armor"?

Armor is a type of protective clothing made of metal or other durable materials worn by soldiers in the past to protect themselves from harm or injury during battles. Armor was typically made up of various pieces, such as a helmet, breastplate, gauntlets, greaves, and sometimes even a shield, covering different body parts. Different types of armor were developed over time, such as chainmail, plate armor, and scale armor. They were often designed to provide maximum protection while still allowing the wearer to move around and fight effectively.
