await transactionResponse.wait(1)

okay so here is the thing , i understand that this waits for 1 block , but i don't really understand it , like why wait for blocks , i don't really understand this piece of code :

 const { deployer } = await getNamedAccounts()
    const fundMe = await ethers.getContract("FundMe", deployer)
    console.log("Funding Contract")
    const transactionResponse = await fundMe.fund({
        value: ethers.utils.parseEther("0.1"),
    })
    await transactionResponse.wait(1)
    console.log("Funded!")

i know this one of the easiest stuff going on , but like i need someone to explain it to me in english like what is going on exactly .

@Ahmed14z : In this line await transactionResponse.wait(1) we are waiting for one block confirmation on our fund transaction!

It's totally upto you, If you wanna wait or not!

But its a good practice to wait for couple of blocks on transactions, Because number of confirmations are required to finalize a transaction with high probability, and to ensure that there is probabilistically a very low chance for a transaction to be reverted!
