What is the merkle root?
Answer / Sandeep Gautam
The Merkle root is a digital fingerprint or hash value derived from multiple data items. In blockchain, it represents the root of a Merkle tree, which organizes hashes of transactions within a block in a hierarchical structure. The Merkle root serves as a proof that all individual transaction hashes are accounted for and have not been tampered with.
