earlobe
Soft dangly bit
The earlobe is the soft, fleshy lower part of the outer ear that hangs below the cartilage.
Earlobes are commonly pierced for earrings.
Some people have attached earlobes that connect directly to the head; others have free-hanging lobes—a classic example in genetics teaching.
