Wheels are often referred to as simple machines because they facilitate movement by reducing friction and making it easier to transport objects. They function as a type of lever, converting rotational motion into linear motion, which enhances efficiency in various tasks. This classification highlights their fundamental role in mechanics and engineering, serving as a basic element in many complex machines.
