- The riddle asks for something that is "bought by the yard" and "worn by the foot."
- "Bought by the yard" refers to how carpeting is typically sold—in linear yards or square yards.
- "Worn by the foot" is a play on words. While you don't literally wear a carpet like clothing, your feet "wear" or tread upon it constantly.
- The visual clue of a rolled-up mat reinforces the answer.
- Therefore, the solution is a carpet.
