Data passed from a parent component to a child component in React.
Props (short for properties) are how React components receive data from their parents. Think of props as arguments to a Function — they customize how a component looks and behaves. Props flow one direction: parent to child.
Props can be any JavaScript data: strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, objects, functions, or even other components. You access props using Destructuring. In JSX, you pass props like HTML attributes. TypeScript adds type safety to props definitions.
Loaders provide data as props to route components. When props need to be shared across many components, state management libraries like Zustand help avoid "prop drilling" (passing props through many layers). State and props together drive React's Rendering system.
