earlobes
Soft auricular appendages
Earlobes are the soft, fleshy lower parts of the outer ear, hanging below the cartilage.
They have no biological function but serve as common sites for piercing: She had three studs in each earlobe.
Earlobes vary in shape—some hang free, others attach directly to the head.
