Terraform helps to automate infrastructure management using HCL scripts. HCL, as you know by now, is a declarative-based language comprising resource declaration and configuration. The scripts consist of root configuration and is the starting point of script execution. The root configuration can declare provider specific resources directly or instead they can use modules. Terraform provides modules that are essential building blocks for resources and the overall solution. Modules are Terraform scripts that are sourced from an external location and combined with the root configuration. Modules do not have the root configuration and are meant to be used within the root configuration. Modules solve some of the important infrastructure as code (IaC) issues such as reusability, standardization, uniformity, and consistency in deployments across environments, solutions, and teams.
