What are defensive features?

Defensive features are things that help protect something from being hurt or taken over.

Imagine you have a favorite toy box full of your best toys. You don’t want anyone to take them without asking. So, you put a lock on the box, that’s like a defensive feature. It helps keep your toys safe.

Like a Castle with Walls

Think of a castle. The king lives inside, and he has walls, moats, and guards around it. Those are all defensive features. They help stop enemies from getting to the king. Just like how your toy box lock stops someone from taking your toys without permission.

Your Body Has Defensive Features Too!

Your body even has its own defensive features. For example, when you get a cut, your skin starts to heal, that’s your body working hard to protect you from getting sick or hurt more.

So whether it's a toy box lock, a castle wall, or your healing skin, defensive features are like helpers that keep things safe and strong!
