Remember this!
Cuboid and block are both solid shapes with flat faces and straight edges. However, cuboid is a specific geometric solid with six rectangular faces and unequal edge lengths, while block is a more general term for a solid piece of material that can have any number of faces and can be rectangular, square, or irregular in shape. Block is often used for building or construction, while cuboid is more commonly used in mathematics and geometry.
