A part is a grouping of one or more surfaces in a model. Each surface is also a part, which can be composed of smaller pieces. Surfaces do not have to be physically next to each other to be grouped together or to constitute a single part.
Sometimes you need to extract individual surfaces or several surfaces from the part to which they are assigned for greater flexibility with appearance assignment or animation.
