face definition and meaning

What is "face"?

The face is the front part of the head, consisting of various features that define a person's appearance. It includes the forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and chin. The face plays a vital role in communication and expression, allowing us to convey emotions, communicate non-verbally, and engage with others. It is also home to sensory organs such as the eyes and nose, enabling us to see, smell, and experience the world around us. The face is unique to each individual and serves as a significant aspect of our identity.
