skin
Das ist die äußere Schicht des Körpers, die den Menschen und Tiere schützt und den ganzen Körper bedeckt.
The German word "Haut" is a noun that means "skin". It refers to the outer protective layer of the body and is essential for protecting internal organs, regulating temperature, and providing sensory information.
Words with similar meanings include "Epidermis" (epidermis, the outermost layer of skin), and "Oberhaut" (outer skin). Notably, while "Epidermis" specifically refers to the upper layer of skin, "Haut" encompasses the skin as a whole, including the dermis and other layers underneath. Thus, "Haut" is broader in scope compared to the other terms.
