A path, or route, is a way or course taken to reach a destination. It can be a physical trail, road, or track that people or vehicles follow. Paths can vary in length and complexity, from simple walking trails in a park to intricate road networks in cities. In addition to physical paths, the term can also refer to digital routes, such as the pathways data takes through a computer network. Both types of paths are essential for navigation, whether in the natural world or in technology, helping users find their way efficiently to their desired endpoints.
