ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

-bury

When you bury something, you dig a hole in the ground and put that thing inside the hole. You cover it up with dirt so that it isn't visible anymore. People often bury things such as food, toys, and even dead animals or plants. People also bury humans when they are no longer alive as a way of saying goodbye and allowing their body to become part of the earth again. Burying things protects them from getting lost or damaged, and it also helps keep them safe and hidden.
