Why Do We Use ‘Fingerprints’ for Identification?

Fingerprints are like a special mark that only you have. When you touch something, your fingerprint leaves behind tiny lines and dots on the surface. These patterns are unique to each person, like a personal secret code. Police use these codes to find out who did something, just like how you know your best friend by their laugh!
