It reveals all thread states and lock ownerships.
A thread dump can show which threads are waiting for locks, helping identify deadlocks by displaying which threads are holding and waiting for locks. For instance, if a checkout process in an e-commerce application freezes, a thread dump can pinpoint the threads involved in the deadlock.
