Foot is also the name of a body part. See foot.

Foot is a unit of measurement of length (how long a thing is). It is one of the U.S. customary units and sometimes called a "U.S. foot" because it is used most often in the United States. It is called a foot, because it is nearly the size of a man's foot.

In some countries, people often measure height (how tall a person is) in feet and inches. If a person is "five foot eleven", this means that person is 5 feet and 11 inches, or about 180 centimeters. The height is written 5'11".

The abbreviation for (the short way of writing) "foot" is ' or ft.
