ViewModel State

ViewModel state refers to the data held within a ViewModel class that persists across configuration changes, such as screen rotations. It allows your UI data to survive these changes, preventing the need to re-fetch or re-create it every time the activity or fragment is recreated. This data is typically observed by the UI, which updates itself automatically whenever the state changes, ensuring a consistent user experience.
