Hilo (Thread)
Unidad mínima de ejecución que comparte memoria dentro de un proceso.
A thread is a component of a process. Multiple threads can exist within the same process, sharing resources such as memory, while executing independently. Threads are 'lightweight' because context switching between them is faster than between processes since it doesn't require switching the memory context.

Imagina una cocina con un chef (proceso). Un hilo es como las manos del chef—pueden cortar verduras mientras otra mano revuelve la sopa al mismo tiempo. ¡Ambas manos comparten la misma cocina (memoria)!
