Arduino shields are also called __________.

Shields extend an Arduino by plugging into its header pins to add new capabilities. They’re designed as separate boards that sit on top of the base Arduino, providing extra features like networking, motor control, or sensor interfaces without needing to redesign the core board. Because they are add-on boards that stack onto the Arduino to expand what it can do, the term add-on modules fits best. Other options describe broader or different ideas—extra peripherals is generic, connectivity modules focus only on networking, and another Arduinos would be a separate device entirely.
