Malformation for Dummies

Hey there! So, "malformation" is a word that describes when something is not formed correctly or is abnormal in shape or structure. It's like when you see a puzzle piece that doesn't quite fit into the puzzle because it's not the right shape or size. It's the same idea when something is described as a malformation - it's not quite the way it should be.

For example, let's say you have a toy car, and one of the wheels is not round like it's supposed to be. That would be a malformation because it's not the normal shape for a wheel. Another example could be if a flower has petals that are all different sizes instead of being the same. That would also be a malformation because it's not the usual way the flower should look.

Malformation can also refer to when a body part or an organ in the body is not formed correctly, like if someone is born with an extra finger or a heart that is not shaped like a regular heart. So basically, when something is not formed or shaped the way it usually is, we'd call it a malformation.

I hope that makes sense to you! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Learning new words can be tricky, but we can figure it out together!
