Simulacrum

Simulacrum is a word used to describe something that looks like something else. It's like a copy or imitation of the original. Think of it like a copycat or a doppelganger. For example, if you made a fake painting of Mona Lisa or used a computer to make a copy of Mona Lisa, that would be a simulacrum.
