Counter shading is a common color pattern in animals in which the dorsal side (upper side) of the animal is darker than the ventral (lower) side.
In a Word document, you can apply borders to pages, around selected paragraphs. Borders are applied using the Borders and Shading dialog box.

What are the body parts of a great white shark?

If you mean the black and white, then it is called counter-shading. Counter-shading is whne an animal is dark on the top and light on the bottom. It is dark on the top, so when an animal or person is looking at it from above, it blends into the bottom of the sea or ocean or lake, or whatever body of water. It is light so when an animal or person is looking up at it, it blends into the sunlight. It is a kind of defense i suppose.

Why is the great shark white?

Great White Sharks, as well as most oceanic fish, have a structural adaptation which is known as counter-shading. The dorsal (top) side of the shark grey so that it blends in with the ocean floor making it hard to be seen form above, allowing the shark to sneak up on its prey from below. The ventral (underside) side of the shark is white so that it blends in with the uppermost layer of the water (which appears white from below) making it hard to be seen from below. This acts as both a defensive mechanism as well as a predatory advantage for Great Whites. They blend in with the surface of the water therefore making it hard to be noticed by both its prey and its predators.
