The correct answer is: Sole or bottom

The plantar surface of the foot refers to the underside or bottom portion of the foot, which is primarily involved in weight-bearing and balance during walking and standing. This surface includes the heel and the soles of the foot, which make contact with the ground. Understanding anatomical terms like "plantar" is crucial in healthcare practices, as it helps professionals accurately describe symptoms, injuries, or procedures related to the foot. The clarity in terminology is essential for effective communication among healthcare providers and is important for proper patient assessment and treatment.
