Definition
下体 is a formal or written noun that primarily refers to the lower part of the body, often used euphemistically for the private parts or genitals in medical, legal, or clinical contexts. It also has a botanical sense meaning 'roots' or 'root system', comparable to 根部 but more technical. The term is less common in everyday conversation than 私处 for private parts or 根 for roots.
