Detailed explanation-4: -A pylon is a bar or rod that supports some structure, like a bridge or a highway overpass. You might notice the pylons underpinning your city’s elevated train tracks. Pylons are often made of steel or concrete, because they are strong substances that can hold a large amount of weight.
