Steps are individual units on a staircase.

I was just having this conversation with a four-year-old the other night.

The steps make up the staircase, and stairs is plural of a word that doesn't need to be plural? I don't know.

XP!

maybe controversial, & i got no real evidence for this but I feel like i am going to call stairs that are outside 'steps'.
