What figurative language is this ?

Question

" as you will find out, each creation's a door, and the way we approach it a key ".

Answer 1

A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers to something as being the same as another thing for rhetorical effect. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas. Where a simile compares two items, a metaphor directly equates them, and does not use "like" or "as" as does a simile.
