A forgetful functor is a type of functor that 'forgets' some structure or properties of the objects and morphisms it maps between categories, essentially providing a way to relate different categories while losing some information. It often connects categories that have a more complex structure to simpler ones, making it easier to work with and understand the relationships between various mathematical constructs.
