What is a Scroll?

A scroll is a bar or a wheel that allows you to move up and down through a list of items, such as a list of web pages or a list of documents. You can use the scroll bar to navigate through the list and select the item you want to view.

In computing, a scroll can also refer to a graphical representation of a list of items, such as a list of files in a file browser or a list of messages in an instant messaging client. In this context, the scroll is a visual representation of the list of items, and you can use the scroll bar to navigate through the list and select the item you want to view.

The term "scroll" can also be used more broadly to refer to any type of list or collection of items that can be navigated through using a scroll bar or other navigation mechanism. For example, a web page might have a scrollable section that allows you to view a long list of content without having to load all of the content at once. In this case, the scrollable section is a scroll that allows you to navigate through the list of content and select the item you want to view.
