Mortar was a substance, consisting of sand and cement, used in masonry to bind construction bricks or blocks, such as those made out of stone, together and fill the gaps between them.

In 2373, Captain Sisko marveled at a painting containing a Bantaca spire, noting that the structure was made of hundreds of stones carved and fitted together so tightly that they didn't require mortar. (DS9: "Rapture")
