Answer
They specify other modules the module depends on.
The 'requires' directive in module-info.java declares which modules are needed for a module to compile and run. This ensures that all necessary dependencies are explicitly listed, promoting clear dependency management. For example, a 'shipping' module might require the 'inventory' module to access stock information.
