They rotate and can be braked, just like auto wheels. Nose wheels can be steered.

An Airplane. Me. My sister when she is mad.
"wheels up" is when an airplane is off the ground. When someone says they are going "wheels up" it means they are flying soon.
No, an airplane does not have legs but the wheels and everything that holds up the rest of the plane is called the gear or landing gear.
It is the main body of an airplane and does not include the wings and wheels etc.

The gear refers to the wheels and struts of the aircraft
Well an airplane is just a category in the term aircraft. There are fixed wing aircraft, rotarty aircraft, lighter than air aircraft, glider, etc. An airplane would be under fixed wing in category. If you are designing an airplane it has to have one or more engines, it needs to be fixed wing (meaning the wing is attached to the fuselage), and needs wheels for land or floats for water. By law the airplane must have an airspeed indicator, a magnetic compass, and an altitude indicator at the least. The plane also has to be weighted and balanced and registrated, etc. Not sure if I really answered your question or not but I hope it helps
