Component - ScrollView component

The ScrollView component in React Native allows users to scroll through a list or content that is larger than the screen. It is like a window that lets you move up and down (or sideways) to see more content.

Widget Tree
View
└── ScrollView
    ├── Text (Item 1)
    ├── Text (Item 2)
    ├── Text (Item 3)
    └── Text (Item 4)
The root View contains a ScrollView. Inside the ScrollView are multiple Text components representing items. The ScrollView lets the user scroll vertically to see all Text items.
