What body type is described as short and fat?

Ectomorph
Mesomorph
Endomorph
Somatotype

The correct answer is: Endomorph

Endomorph is described as short and fat because it is the body type that carries more body fat and has a rounder, softer appearance. Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Somatotype are all body type classifications, but they do not necessarily have the characteristics of being short and fat. Ectomorph is typically tall and lean, while Mesomorph is muscular and athletic. Somatotype, on the other hand, is simply the classification of body types based on three distinct categories, including Endomorphs. Therefore, Endomorph is the most accurate answer in terms of having a short and fat body type.
