What are wooden stakes?

Answer:

A wooden stake is a cut piece of wood, like a 2 x 2 or a 4 x 4 (or bigger or smaller), that is tapered to a point on one end so it can be driven into the ground. They are used in gardening and landscaping and for other purposes, such as burning witches (at the stake), and they figure rather prominently in vampire stories.
