Merkle Trees are a data structure used for verifying the integrity of large datasets. They work by hashing individual pieces of data, then hashing the hashes recursively until a single hash (root hash) represents all the original data. Merkle trees are essential in blockchains because they enable efficient verification of the entire transaction history without having to process each individual transaction. This makes blockchain networks more scalable and secure.
