The description you have given is of human nails. Nails are made up of hard, keratinized cells and grow from a nail root located under the cuticle. They protect the distal portions of the digits (fingers and toes), enhance precise movement of the digits, and aid in picking up objects. Nails also serve cosmetic purposes and can be decorated or painted in various ways.
