Bilateral symmetry

Bilateral symmetry refers to a design or arrangement where an object can be divided into two mirror-image halves along a central line, known as the sagittal plane. This means that one side looks like a reflection of the other. Many living organisms, including humans, animals, and some plants, exhibit bilateral symmetry. It is important in biology for movement and function; for instance, having two arms and two legs allows for balanced movement. Bilateral symmetry is also a common aspect in nature, art, and design, reflecting harmony and balance.
