Question

Who was at the lowest rung of the monastic orders? What was their function?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A nun is a member of a religious community of women, typically living under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience in the enclosure of a monastery.

In the real world, nuns' duties cover a diverse range. Some nuns devote themselves to prayer and contemplating God, while others help the poor, teach children or care for the sick. One thing all nuns have in common is that they're acting in ways that they believe serve God, not themselves.
