workable paste used to bind building blocks

AI overview

Mortar is a workable paste that's spread between bricks, stones, or other building blocks to bind them together and hold a structure in place. It matters because without it, individual blocks would simply stack on top of each other without adhering, making buildings unstable and unable to withstand weather, time, and structural stress.
