Answer
Header, Payload, Signature. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
A JWT token consists of three parts: the Header (which specifies the token type and signing algorithm), the Payload (which contains claims about the user), and the Signature (which verifies the token's integrity). This structure is key to stateless authentication, as no session is stored server-side.
