In programming, "heap" generally refers to a region of dynamic memory from which memory is allocated for objects during program execution. In C#, the heap is used to store objects of reference types (e.g., classes), while value types (e.g., structures, primitives) are usually stored on the stack.

The heap is managed by the runtime environment (CLR) and the garbage collector, which frees the memory occupied by objects that are no longer referenced. Unlike the stack, where memory is allocated and freed in a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) manner, the heap allows for memory allocation and deallocation in any order.

Example: when you create an object using new, memory for it is allocated on the heap.

class Person { public string Name; }

Person p = new Person(); // the Person object is created on the heap
