What is the purpose of the createRoot API introduced in React 18?

Entry React
Quick Answer createRoot replaces ReactDOM.render() and enables all React 18 features including concurrent rendering. You call createRoot(domNode) once to set up the root, then .render() to display your component. The split allows React to manage multiple roots independently and enables concurrent features like Suspense and transitions.

Answer

createRoot enables concurrent rendering, allowing React to pause, resume, or interrupt rendering to improve UI responsiveness.
