Answer

Heritage refers to the legacy, traditions, values, cultural practices, and tangible or intangible artifacts that are passed down from one generation to another. It encompasses the collective inheritance of a community, society, or family, including historical, cultural, and natural aspects that contribute to a sense of identity and continuity. Heritage can manifest in various forms, such as historical monuments, customs, languages, art, and artifacts, all of which play a crucial role in shaping the identity and understanding of a particular group or individual.
