Modularity
Think of a modularized database like a set of toy blocks. Each block, or module, is a separate piece of the solution and has its own job. Just like you can snap together blocks to make different things, you can connect these modules to build a complete solution or application.
Every module is like its own database. It works by itself and has its own information and tasks it can do. But, when you put these modules together with others, they can share information and do more complex jobs.
Let's take a company as an example. It has departments like sales, human resources (HR), and accounting. In a modularized database, each department has its own module. The sales module keeps track of talking to customers, the HR module looks after employee details, and the accounting module deals with money matters. Each of these parts works on its own, but they can also connect to each other. For example, the HR module could share employee information with the sales module to help track who's selling well.
