tier

A tier is like a layer or level of something. It’s like when you stack blocks or build a tower – each layer or level is a tier. It’s like a pyramid, or like a wedding cake with multiple layers. You can have a 3-tier cake, or a 5-tier cake, or a 10-tier cake. It just means that there are multiple levels or layers to something. For example, the internet is divided into tiers. The top tier is the fastest and the most expensive, while the bottom tier is the slowest and the least expensive. Fun Fact: The world’s tallest cake was a 10-tier cake and it was 55 feet tall!
