Axial cut

Okay kiddo, imagine you have a big piece of cake that you want to cut into smaller pieces. If you cut it straight down from the top, that's called a vertical cut. But if you cut it horizontally across the middle, that's called an axial cut. It's like you're cutting the cake into two halves, like how the earth has a North Pole and a South Pole. An axial cut is a really important way to understand things that are symmetrical, meaning they look the same on both sides. It helps scientists and doctors study things like bones or organs in our bodies to see what's inside and how they work.
