+A **heap** is a specialized [tree](/wiki/tree) data structure that satisfies the heap property, where each parent node is ordered with respect to its children. It is commonly used to efficiently implement a [priority queue](/wiki/priority_queue), ensuring quick access to the minimum or maximum element. Heaps are crucial for many efficient algorithms.
