A “puddle” refers to a small, shallow pool of liquid, often water, that accumulates on a surface, such as the ground or a roadway. Puddles typically form after rainfall or when water collects in a depression, and they are characterized by their relatively still and calm nature. These small bodies of water can be found in various outdoor settings, and their size can range from tiny droplets to larger areas capable of causing inconvenience or splashing.
