Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of RNA that forms an essential structural and functional component of ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. It plays a critical role in translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins, facilitating the assembly of amino acids in the correct sequence. The presence of rRNA is crucial for the overall function and accuracy of ribosomes during translation.
