Ball and socket.
The joint between the leg and the hip is the hip joint, which is a ball-and-socket joint. This joint allows for a wide range of motion, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation of the leg. The hip joint is supported by a network of muscles, ligaments, and tendons that help stabilize the joint during movement.
