Inside a functional component, we are passing props as an argument of the function.

A functional component is an ES6 function.

When do we use functional components?
Ans:
1)when it receives prop and renders something.
2)when it doesn't have any state.

Why functional components?

Always prefer functional components over class components.

Functional component holds state using hooks. (react 16.8)
