Answer
JOINs fetch related data in a single database call.
The N+1 query problem occurs when an application makes one query to fetch a list of entities and then N additional queries to fetch related entities for each item. Using a JOIN, you can retrieve all the needed data in one query. For instance, loading all orders and their items in one go prevents multiple queries from being issued for each order.
