Step-by-step explanation:

The plastron (plural: plastrons or plastra) is the nearly flat part (bottom) of the shell structure of a turtle, what one would call the belly or ventral surface of the shell.

D

Step-by-step explanation:

I have a tortoise so the bottom of his shell protects his insides which is his "shield" or plastron.
