Best Answer

A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole (self similar).

The term "fractal" was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured."

A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion.

A fractal by definition is actually a curve that has infinite length, like the Koch snowflake and Cantor set, to name a few.
