What is a memory cache-line?

A memory cache-line is a unit of data storage in a computer's cache memory. It represents a fixed-sized block of memory that is fetched from the main memory and stored in the cache. The cache-line typically contains multiple bytes or words of data, and it is used to improve the performance of memory access by reducing the latency of fetching data from the main memory.
