When you are inside your mothers tummy, your are connected together by the umbilical cord. That is how the mother passes food and oxygen to the baby.
At birth, the doctor cuts that umbilical cord.A belly button is like a scar left after that cord is cut and heals.

Belly buttons, navels, lint collection stations, stomach knots -- I've
heard them all. Belly buttons are what's left a after the umbilical cord falls
off a few weeks after birth. They mark the point where you were hooked onto your
mother before you were born, to put it simply.

Because everyone has an umbilical cord when they are in their mothers womb that feeds them. It is cut off when they are born and forms the belly button.

the belley button is where the body attached to the mother when in utero - after birth they cut the cord attaching the baby to the mother and when the last piece of the cord falls of it leaves a scar - the belly button

It's left over from where the umbilical cord (that connected the baby to the mother in the womb) was snipped.
