Real solids have discrete structure. Descriptions of the mechanics of such solids usually ignore this important physical property and adopt the so-called continuous medium approach, i.e. the medium is considered to be a continuous aggregate of material points in motion. The properties of the medium are assumed not to change even if an infinitesimally small piece is considered. Continuous medium is a useful abstraction which allows one to apply differential and integral calculus while studying the motion of deformable bodies.
