Idioms are expressions peculiar to a language. They are a group of words expressing a meaning quite different, from the literal or actual meaning of the words. Idioms beautify the language. Idioms help to describe an exact situation in a different, more creative way.

Example -

The team has been in excellent form. Winning this match will be like a piece of cake for them.

The idiom used here is - like a piece of cake

The literal meaning of the idiom makes the sentence mean totally different. At the first glance, the sentence may sound like, the team has been regularly eating cake or the team will get a cake if they win! But, the sentence doesn't have any relation with cake.

The idiom like a piece of cake mean something that's easy to accomplish. Knowing the correct meaning of this idiom changes the meaning of the sentence into - Winning the match is easy for the team as their performance was excellent.
