What is the transition tree and how does React use it during low-priority renders?

Expert React
Quick Answer The transition tree is the work-in-progress tree being built for a low-priority transition update. React renders it concurrently alongside the current tree. If an urgent update arrives, React abandons the transition tree, handles the urgent update on the current tree, and then starts a new transition tree incorporating all pending updates.

Answer

React marks updates inside startTransition as belonging to a separate transition tree that can pause, resume, or discard work.
