How it's used
Refers specifically to the lower section or base of an object or structure rather than a general location. It is often used to describe the physical layout of furniture or equipment. Unlike the more general word 底, which can mean the very bottom surface or underside, 下部 implies a distinct lower portion or section.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe the bottom of a person or animal, as it sounds overly clinical or mechanical. Use 底 or 下面 for general locations or body parts instead.
