Which component in Sitecore is responsible for displaying content?

The component responsible for displaying content in Sitecore is the renderings. Renderings control how data is presented on the website and are crucial for rendering the final output to the end user. These renderings can include Sitecore's standard components or custom components created by developers, allowing for flexibility and customization in the presentation layer.

Templates define the structure and fields of content items but do not themselves display content. Workflows are used to manage the approval processes for content, and media items are used for storing multimedia files but are not responsible for the display of content itself. Therefore, renderings are the key elements that bring the content to life on a Sitecore site, determining how it is laid out and visualized on the user interface.
