A sea turtle's bottom shell is called the "plastron." The plastron serves several purposes, including providing protection for the turtle's internal organs and helping to streamline its body for efficient swimming. Additionally, the plastron can play a role in thermoregulation and may assist in mating displays or behaviors.
