The hairs on the legs are called "leg hair" or simply "body hair." They serve various functions, including providing a layer of protection for the skin, helping to regulate body temperature, and playing a role in the sensation by acting as receptors for touch. Additionally, they can help reduce friction during movement. In some animals, leg hairs also assist in detecting environmental changes.
