Composite boson

A composite boson is like a big group of friends who act as one team. Imagine you and your friends all holding onto each other's hands to make a big circle. When you all pull on each other in different directions, the circle stays together and acts as one big team. This is similar to how composite bosons work. They are made up of smaller particles that all act together as one unit. Just like how your circle of friends might have different personalities and strengths, the particles in composite bosons also have different properties, but when they come together they act as one big particle with special properties.
