Best Answer

A prehensile, multi fingered body part normally located at the end of an arm or forelimb of a primate.

Hands are the chief organs for physically manipulating the environment. They are used for both gross motor skills (such as grasping a large object) and fine motor skills (such as picking up a small pebble).
