Explanation
A king is a male ruler of a country, usually from a royal family. He often wears a crown and lives in a palace. For example, the king greeted his people from the balcony. A king may make important decisions for the country, but in many places today, kings only have ceremonial roles, meaning they represent the country but do not control it. People also use king informally to mean someone who is the best at something, like Soldier is the king of hearts in our community.
