Place for eggs
Answer:
SAC
Hint:
Think of a small pouch in nature where tiny creatures or seeds might develop safely. It’s not a nest or basket, but something even more compact.
Explanation:
The clue "Place for eggs" hints at a small pouch or container where eggs might be stored or develop. In biology, a "sac" is a general term for a bag-like structure, like the amniotic sac that holds a developing embryo—or even a simple nest-like pouch. The answer plays on the literal meaning while keeping it short and direct, avoiding more obvious words like "nest" or "carton." It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay.
