Component: In the context of system architecture, a component is an individual part that performs a specific function within the larger system. It can refer to hardware elements (like a CPU or a hard drive), software elements (like a module or function), or sub-systems. Components typically interact with other elements within the system and are designed to be interchangeable or replaceable, promoting flexibility and scalability.
