Answer
It declares potential exceptions a method can throw.
The 'throws' keyword in Java's method signature indicates that a method might throw certain exceptions, informing callers that they need to handle or propagate these exceptions. For example, 'void readFile() throws IOException' signals that readFile may throw an IOException, and users must be prepared to handle it.
