ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Iris hut

Imagine you go on a walk somewhere and it gets super sunny and hot outside. You might start feeling really warm and need to rest somewhere, right? That's where an "iris hut" comes in!

It's like a small house or shelter with walls made of woven leaves and a roof that often slopes down on both sides. These leaves can come from a type of plant called an iris, hence the name "iris hut." Sometimes, the roof will even be thatched with other materials such as grass, straw or palm leaves to provide extra shade and protection from the elements.

So, when you are walking or exploring outside and you start to feel hot, you can find an iris hut to take a break in. It will give you some shade and cooler air to relax in until you feel ready to continue on your journey. It's like having a little house that's specifically designed to give you a place to take a rest and cool off.
