What is the purpose of a DNS resolver?

The purpose of a DNS resolver is to convert domain names into IP addresses. It acts as an intermediary between the user's device and the DNS server, allowing the user to access websites and other resources on the internet by translating the human-readable domain names into the numerical IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the network.
