Separate the torso from the legs of a minfig, and look into the
underside of the torso piece. The tabs are bits of plastic that stick
out from the sides and match up with the studs on the legs.
Originally, minifigs had no tabs, then smaller ones were added
sometime in the '80's, and more recently larger "X" type tabs that you
see today were added.
