Flounder is a common name for a large number of related flat fish species that typically live on the bottom of the sea where they camouflage with the sea bed. They eat smaller fish, catching them by surprise as their prey simply cannot see them.
Flour is a fine, white powder made from milling grain. You can make flour from many grains, including wheat, corn or rice.
Flour is used to make a huge variety of foods, like bread, cakes, cookies, pancakes or waffles.
You can't eat flour on its own, it has to be mixed with something else and cooked first.
Flowers are the part of a plant that is used to make seeds, which grow into baby plants. Flowers are usually very pretty. The reason for this is the plant needs insects to come to the flowers and fertilize them so seeds can develop. Insects are attracted to the flowers by their colour and the sweet nectar that the plant grows inside the flower as a reward for the insects.
Flu is the shortened or slang form of influenza.
Something is fluffy if it is very light and soft. Plants like dandelions have very fluffy flowers, and some animals like long-haired cats and rabbits are fluffy.
