Description

Hey team,

Love the new Beta Docs!

Can you please provide a section (maybe a deep dive and/or a more reading link) explaining where the {children} value is coming from here and how it works:

export default function Section({ children }) {
  return (
    <section className="section">
      {children}
    </section>
  );
}

Link to doc: https://beta-reactjs-org-git-fx-fbopensource.vercel.app/learn/passing-data-deeply-with-context

It's obvious what it's doing but not how...

Cheers!

Research direction

Start with the linked page, /learn/passing-data-deeply-with-context, and locate the example defining Section({ children }). Read the surrounding lesson to explain where children comes from and how it is rendered, then add a deep-dive or further-reading section; done means the example's data flow is clear to readers.
