A bident is a tool that has two pointy parts at the end. It looks kind of like a really long fork or a pitchfork. People used to use bidents to do things like gather hay or straw or to dig up plants from the ground. Imagine if you had a big garden, and you needed to loosen up the dirt to make it easier to plant things. You could use a bident to help you do that! Some people also think of bidents as a symbol of power or authority because they look kind of fierce and important.
