Outside plant

Okay, kiddo, do you know what a plant is? It can be a big tree or a small flower that grows in the ground, right?

Well, there are also plants that are outside, but they're not living things like trees and flowers. They're actually a type of equipment that helps us communicate with other people far away from us.

These plants are called "outside plants" because they're usually installed outside of buildings, on the ground or on poles. They're made up of wires, cables, and other equipment that allow us to use phones, the internet, and other forms of communication.

You know how we use phones to talk to our friends and family, right? Well, these outside plants help connect our phones to other phone lines that are far away, so we can talk to people who are really far away from us!

So, in a nutshell, "outside plant" is a fancy word that means the equipment we use to stay connected with people who are far away from us, whether it's through phones, the internet or other communication tools, and it usually stays outside of our homes and buildings.
