Everything you need to know about Collars
Hello, friends! Today we'll talk about a word that can have different meanings: the collar!
Collar (clothing) - part of some garments
Firstly, the collar is an important part of some garments, such as shirts, sweaters, jackets. Usually positioned around the neck, it can have different shapes and represent an important aesthetic feature of the garment. The collar can be stiff or soft, sometimes decorated with buttons, hooks, or laces, or remain more simple and essential.
Collar (botany) - part of the plant
The collar is also a term used in botany to indicate a part of the plant, precisely the junction between the root and the stem. As one can imagine, this part of the plant is fundamental for its survival and growth, as it allows the exchange of nutrients between these two elements.
