Kas saaksite selgitada, mida antud kontekstis mõistetakse terminiga 'Task'?

In the context of iOS, the term "Task" usually refers to an asynchronous operation that runs in the background. With the advent of Swift Concurrency (starting from Swift 5.5), Task is a structure representing a unit of work that can be executed asynchronously.

For example, Task allows running asynchronous code outside the main thread:

Task {
    let data = await fetchData()
    print(data)
}

Tasks help manage asynchrony, simplify code writing with async/await, and allow canceling operations if necessary.
