Answer:

A protection

Step-by-step explanation:

The main function of toenails is likely for protection, compared to enhancing grip or the fine motor functions the fingernails have. The tops of the toes are vulnerable to injury and, as we’ve all learned the hard way, stubbing. By having a protective nail on top of the toe, the toes are less vulnerable to injury and infections
