A buildup of electric charge in an object caused by the presence of many particles with the same charge.
Charges cause static electricity by charges
The static charges are held in the electrons
It means that they are charges (that usually refers to electrical charges), and that they don't move (or don't move significantly).
Static charges are generated by the imbalance of electrons on the surface of an object. Like charges repel, and opposite charges attract. Static charges can accumulate on insulating materials, such as plastic or rubber. They can be discharged through grounding or by contact with another object.

Static charges are accumulated generally on insulators.
Static electricity constitutes of charges that are static i.e. they do not move.
No, static charges do not flow continuously. They remain stationary on an object or surface until they are discharged through a conductive pathway.
The buildup of charges on an object is called static electricity. This occurs when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the surface of an object, leading to the attraction or repulsion of other objects.
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
It is because electrostatics mean the charges which are static and not in motion.
