The jelly-like substance that burst into flames when dropped on villages or vegetation is known as napalm. Developed during World War II, it is a flammable liquid used in incendiary devices, particularly in aerial bombs. Napalm sticks to surfaces and causes devastating fires, making it particularly destructive in warfare. Its use has been controversial due to its severe impact on civilian populations and the environment.
