A slice is Redux Toolkit's way of organizing one part of your application's state. You define the initial state and the reducers that can change it in one place, and Redux Toolkit automatically creates the corresponding action creators for those reducers.

For example, a cart slice can contain the cart items, reducers for adding or removing products, and the actions generated from those reducers. This makes Redux code much smaller and easier to maintain than writing all of these pieces separately.
