Armor
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Armor is coverings or clothing that people wear to try and not get hurt when fighting, such as in a war. In history, armor is usually made of the strongest material humans know how to make. Early armor was leather, then later metals were used. Some modern armor, like bullet-proof vests, are made from very hard plastics.
Armor has also been used to protect war animals such as dogs and elephants.
