non-literal

5 anni fa
Hello!
I can't understand the meaning of one sentence. Could you help me out, please?

What is the meaning of the sentence below? "Play is non-literal." CONTEXT "When children play, the means are more important than the ends. It is freely chosen, spontaneous and voluntary. If a child is pressured, they will likely not think of the activity as play. Play is actively engaged: Players must be physically and/or mentally involved in the activity. Play is non-literal. It involves make-believe." (from IELTS 13 Practice Tests)

Thank you!
