What is an IP Address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is a unique identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. Like a home address, it's a digital address that ensures data reaches the correct destination on the internet. There are two versions: IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334).
