Definition

A wall is usually a tall structure built by people, made of bricks, stones, or wood. It stands between two areas and often forms the boundary around buildings or yards. People build walls to separate spaces, provide privacy, protect themselves from wind, rain, or intruders, and sometimes just for decoration. Other natural things that can be called a wall are tree trunks together tightly or the bark on a thick branch.
