The tongue is a muscular organ located in the mouth that plays a vital role in various functions, including tasting, chewing, swallowing, and speech production. It is composed of muscles covered by a mucous membrane and contains taste buds that allow for the perception of different flavors.

A tongue is a component that sits between the foot and the laces, protecting the top of the foot from the pressure of the laces. The tongue is usually made of a soft material that can provide comfort to the foot while also being flexible enough to allow for movement. The tongue is attached to the shoe at the bottom and is usually held in place by the laces or by elastic bands. In some shoes, the tongue is designed to be removable, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit and comfort of the shoe.
