Dorsal

Real World Example

Imagine you're organizing your closet and trying to decide which clothes to keep on the top shelf, where they're easily accessible. Just like you prioritize placing your favorite or most-used items on the top, organisms have a "top" side, known as the dorsal side, which is often adapted for specific functions like protection or camouflage. In both scenarios, the "top" position—whether it's the top shelf of a closet or the dorsal side of an organism—serves a strategic purpose, highlighting the importance of positioning for functionality and efficiency.
