+## **Key Components of a Recursive Function**
+- **Base Case**: A trivial case that can be solved directly, stopping the recursion.
+- **Recursive Call**: The function calls itself with a smaller input or a modified version of the original input.
+- **State**: The function's current state, which is passed to the recursive call.
