The act of a function calling itself is described as "recursion." In this process, the function executes and, under certain conditions (usually defined by a base case), it will invoke itself to solve a smaller or simpler instance of the same problem. This allows for repetitive execution and is essential for solving problems that can be broken down into smaller, similar subproblems.
