Component
A Label serves as a crucial element for enhancing the clarity and usability of a digital interface. It is primarily used to provide a clear and concise description or instruction related to an associated input element, such as a text field, checkbox, radio button, or drop-down menu.
Labels ensure that users understand the purpose and expected input for each form element, thereby reducing the likelihood of user errors and increasing the efficiency of data entry.
