React component life cycle methods are special functions that allow developers to control and monitor a component’s behavior during its creation, update, and removal phases. These methods help manage tasks such as fetching data, updating the DOM, and cleaning up resources efficiently. The life cycle is divided into three main phases: Mounting, when a component is created and added to the DOM; Updating, when changes occur due to state or props; and Unmounting, when a component is removed from the DOM. Understanding life cycle methods is crucial for building optimized, dynamic, and scalable React applications with better performance.
