its the big toe
The foot - it's the big toe.
The hallux, big toe, or great toe is the innermost toe of the foot, counted as digit I.

In humans and non-human primates, the hallux is shorter than the second or pointer toe for a majority of people; compare to the thumb on the hand.

The human big toe has limited grasping ability. Chimpanzees and many other non-human primates lack opposable thumbs but have an opposable hallux.

In birds with anisodactyl or heterodactyl feet, the hallux is opposed or directed backwards and allows for grasping and perching.
