a plumbing fixture that is attached to a shower and delivers water for bathing or washing purposes

A showerhead is the device attached to a shower system that sprays water over the body during a shower. It is typically made of metal or plastic and can be adjustable, allowing users to change the water flow or spray pattern. Showerheads are often designed to provide a comfortable and efficient way to rinse off, with some models offering features like water-saving settings, massage modes, or rain-style showers. They are commonly mounted on the wall or ceiling above the shower area.
