What is a Joomla Component?
A Joomla component is a core element of Joomla. Components are displayed in a Joomla-powered website’s main body position
as defined by the template’s developer. Joomla is preloaded with a few core components (banners, contacts, news feeds, etc.)
but 3rd party Joomla components are widely developed and implemented by Joomla community members.
