Answer:

It is a unique address for anything connected to the Internet

Step-by-step explanation:

An IP address is used to uniquely determine a device that is connected to the internet. In dotted notation , it is represented as nn.nn.nn.nn where nn represents a number between 0 to 255. For example, 10.128.10.32 is an example of an ip address in dotted notation. Due to explosion of internet connected devices , this format has now been expanded to larger IPv6 notation which can provision for much higher number of unique ip addresses that can be assigned to connected systems.
