The texture of a surface or material, is how it feels when you touch it. It may also be the way it looks, which gives you a sense of how it might feel. The texture of something depends on what it is made of and how things in it are put together. Think of touching a bath towel and compare that with touching a paper towel. The texture of these two things is very different.
"Smooth" and "rough" are two words that are often used to describe texture.Did you know you can feel the texture of foods in your mouth? Sometimes I like the texture of foods, and sometimes I don't.
