The "fontanelle" sounds like fancy hotel on the South of France, but it's actually what feature of human anatomy?

In humans, a newborn baby has a soft spot on the top of their head called a "fontanelle," which is essentially a space between the bones of the skull, where the hardening of the bones hasn't occurred yet. In babies, the main fontanelle is between the frontal and parietal bones.
