ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

0

Zero is a special number. It's a number you can use to count things, like if you have zero apples, that means you don't have any apples. But zero isn't like the other numbers. You can't add zero to one, two, three, etc. It stays zero no matter what other numbers you use to try and add to it. That's why it's special!
