Four strokes — three horizontal lines for the fingers, one vertical stroke for the palm. 手 appears as 扌 (hand radical) on the left side of hundreds of action kanji.
Three horizontal lines — the fingers, spread wide. One vertical stroke — the palm holding them together. This is 手: a hand open, ready to give, receive, hold, or write. In its radical form 扌, it becomes the left side of every kanji about action, craft, and contact — the most active radical in the language.
