What is a "gutter"?

A gutter is a long, narrow channel, usually made of metal, plastic, or other materials, that is attached along the edge of a roof. Its main purpose is to collect and carry away rainwater that flows off the roof, directing it away from the walls and foundation of a building. This helps prevent water from causing damage to the structure, such as eroding the foundation, staining the walls, or flooding the surrounding area. Gutters are commonly connected to downspouts, which lead the water down to the ground or a drainage system.
