Modules are the basic building blocks of a NestJS application. A module groups related controllers, providers, and other dependencies together so your application does not become one huge collection of unrelated files.

Every NestJS application has at least one root module, and larger applications can be split into feature modules such as UsersModule, OrdersModule, or AuthModule. Understanding imports, providers, controllers, and exports inside modules is important for keeping a NestJS project organized.
