The heel is the prominence at the posterior end of the foot. It is based on the projection of one bone, the calcaneus or heel bone, behind the articulation of the bones of the lower leg.

AI overview

The heel is the rounded bump at the back of your foot, formed by a bone called the calcaneus that extends behind where your leg bones connect to your foot. This structure is important because it bears much of your body's weight when you walk and stand.
