Leg is a tetromino and great-grandparent of the beehive, specifically used as an induction coil of a line of three. It is identical to the tail except in usage; while the tail stabilises something else, a leg needs to be stabilised itself.

Unlike the long tail, the extension of the leg, the long leg is more straightforward, where the line of three becomes a line of four.

A tub with leg, the simplest example. It functions the same way any other length-3 induction coil does.
