What is a silo and when is it used?

A silo is a tall, cylindrical structure used for storing grain, cement, coal, or other materials in large quantities. It is typically made of concrete or steel, and can range in size from small to very large depending on the needs of the facility. Silos are commonly used in agriculture, mining, construction, and other industries to store and transport bulk materials. They can be used to streamline transportation and storage, reduce waste and cost, and increase efficiency by ensuring that materials are readily accessible when they are needed.
