I'm working on a project in Unity and I encountered a term called 'mask'. I'm not sure what it means in the context of Unity. Could someone explain what a mask is and how it's used in Unity?

A mask serves as a non-visible tool in user interface design, functioning to alter the visual presentation of a control's subordinate elements.

Unlike traditional UI controls that are directly manipulated and seen, a mask operates behind the scenes.

The primary role of a mask is to confine the appearance of child elements to the contours of their parent element.

This confinement means that if a child element exceeds the size of its parent, only the portion of the child that aligns with the parent's shape will be displayed.

For instance, if a circular parent element contains a rectangular child, the rectangular child will only be visible in the shape of the circle, with the parts of the rectangle outside the circle being hidden.
