Real World Example
Imagine trying to charge your phone, but the cable isn't plugged into the wall outlet. This is similar to the umbilical cord's role in connecting the placenta to the embryo; it's like the essential cable that provides the power and resources needed. Just as the charging cable transfers electricity to keep your phone functioning, the umbilical cord delivers food and oxygen from the placenta to the embryo to ensure its growth and survival.
