What is the purpose of the offscreen component in React?

Senior React
Quick Answer The offscreen component (still experimental) lets React pre-render components in the background while they're hidden, then show them instantly without a re-render when they become visible. Useful for tab panels, accordions, or route transitions where you want instant reveal without rendering cost at reveal time.

Offscreen allows React to render components in the background and preserve state, enabling instant reveal without cost.
