Generally speaking, a wooden stake is a pointed piece of wood that is often driven into the ground.

It is commonly used for supporting plants, marking boundaries, securing structures, or even for construction and outdoor work.

Stakes can vary in size and thickness, depending on their purpose.

They usually have one end that is sharpened to make it easier to push or hammer into the soil or other surfaces.
