Component - Why theming creates consistent UI

Theming in Flutter helps keep the app's look and feel the same everywhere. It sets colors, fonts, and styles once, so all parts of the app match and look neat.

Widget Tree

MaterialApp
└── Scaffold
    ├── AppBar
    └── Center
        └── Text

The MaterialApp is the root widget that applies the theme. Inside it, Scaffold provides the basic layout with an AppBar at the top and a Center widget that holds a Text widget in the middle of the screen.
