SPINE
Explanation:
- “Serpentine in shape.”
- “Gives courage to the cowardly.”
- “Flexible through multiple vertebrae.”
- “Remove its power, and only one part remains alive.”
The spine is curved and segmented, much like a snake (serpentine).
The phrase "grow a backbone" refers to developing courage or strength, while "spineless" describes a cowardly person.
The spine is made up of vertebrae that allow it to bend and move, providing flexibility.
If the spine is damaged or severed, the body can no longer function below the injury. The head (brain) remains, but the body loses its ability to move or live properly below the break.
