Aggregate Roots

An Aggregate Root is a central entity in a system that manages a group of related objects or data as a single unit. Think of it like a main file folder that contains several documents; the folder (aggregate root) controls access and updates to its contents. It ensures consistency and integrity across the group, meaning changes are made through the root, which oversees all interactions. This approach helps organize complex data, making the system easier to maintain and understand by clearly defining boundaries and responsibilities for related data elements.
