fragment | noun | /’frag-mənt/
an isolated or incomplete part of something.
A fragment is an Android component that holds part of the behavior and/or UI of an activity. As the name intimates, fragments are not independent entities, but are subservient to a single activity.
In many ways, they resemble and echo the functionality of activities.
