What are WordPress hooks?

The question is about wordpress

Answer

WordPress hooks are a feature that allows developers to modify or add functionality to WordPress without altering core files. There are two types of hooks: actions and filters. Actions allow you to execute custom code at specific points in the WordPress lifecycle, while filters let you modify data before it is displayed or processed. Hooks are essential for creating custom themes and plugins, as they provide a way to interact with WordPress's core functionality in a flexible and maintainable manner.
