What is the definition of metaphor?

A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unrelated things by stating that one thing is another thing, without using the words "like" or "as". It is used to create a vivid and imaginative comparison, often to convey a deeper meaning or to make a concept more relatable or understandable.
