You are all wrong.
The navel is meant to hold salt so that you can eat celery in bed while watching TV.

A belly button has no use for you when you are born. But when you were still in your mother's womb, the belly button used to be a sort of "feeding tube." The umbilical cord connected your mother's placenta to your body and delivered nutrients and oxygen for your survival and growth. Once you leave your mother's womb, your lungs start functioning (hopefully) and you start drinking your mothers milk, so there is no more need for an umbilical cord, which is cut at birth. The mark it leaves where it was connected your body is what we call a belly button.

The belly button is the scar left over from when you were attached to your umbilical cord inside your mother's womb.
It is also called an umbilicus.

No purpose now. It was where the umbilical cord connecting you to your mom while you were in utero. You received your nutrients and were relieved of waste through the cord.

When all of us were in gods oven of life he would take us out and put his finger in to check if we were done.. and belly buttons are the finger mark. my step mum calls them a "ur-done" sometimes ppl are not quite done and gods finger kinda pulls the dough out as he removes it, this is an outtie....

If you don't mind, I'd like to share a little story of how we got them: God said, "There, you're done." and pushed on your belly and it left a 'button'.

when you are in your mothers womb it is like a feed tube and when your born they cut it so your stomach doesn't fall out of it and you can also get your belly button pierced.

as a mother i can say that the only purpose of a bellybutton is that it is your survival line whilst in the womb, the minute your out there is no use, except it is another place to pierce!! lol : )
