Why is the pot baked in a kiln?
The pot is baked in a kiln to make it hard, strong, and ready for use.
The very hot fire inside the kiln bakes the pot, which hardens the clay so that the pot becomes durable and can hold water or other materials without breaking or dissolving.
Explanation
The chapter explains that when the pots were dried, Ammu (mother) moved them into a very hot fire burning inside a big oven called a 'kiln'. This fire would bake the pot, making it ready for use. Similarly, bricks also become hard after being baked in the kiln.
