A footnote is a note of text placed at the bottom of a page in a book or document. The note comments on and may cite a reference for part of the main body of text. A footnote is normally flagged by a superscript number following that portion of the text the note is in reference to.

the same as a note. just like:

"pick the kids up from satan worshipping at 5:00 o clock"

that's a footnote you might write on the back of your grocery list

A footnote is a type of citation used in writing to give credit to another source. (So you don't plagiarize)

Example. you see a sentence like,
" Cheese is a healthy food." with a little "1"next to it. At the bottom of the page or end of article, you see . 1.University of Minnesota, Health sciences bulletin, May 2,
2007

Cheese is good. Is it? . But you looked and found somebody who did some research to make your statement more believeable. And you're giving credit to the people who did the research.

To do it is only common courtesy.But to take someone';s idea or research and make it look like your own,. or not give them credit is a big no-no!

explanatory note inserted at the foot of the page referring to a point within the text, usually indicated by symbols such as asterisks and daggers or by superior numerals.
