**fragments** are the part of the activity which helps in the development of the UI.

a user interacts with the **complete** screen which is known as the activity. an activity may contain **multiple** fragments. these fragments can be used in multiple activities which means that the fragments are the **reusable** components of the activity. a fragment **cannot** exist without an activity whereas an activity does not necessarily **contain** a fragment.
