How is the belly button formed in a particular shape?

As we all know, the belly button is the remaining portion ofthe umbilical cord connected to the baby and mother. The navel is what joins the umbilical cord together between both mother and baby. It helps the inflow of oxygen and nutrients. After the baby is born, the doctor cuts the cord, and what that is leftover is the navel or belly button. Hence, the shape is not determined by any particular factors in specific but simply what is formed and healed naturally.
