The `labs()` function in R is used to customize the labels of the axes and other plot elements within ggplot2 visualizations. By setting parameters like `x` and `y`, users can clearly define what each axis represents, improving the readability and interpretability of the plots. This function is essential for enhancing plot aesthetics and ensuring that visualizations effectively communicate the underlying data.
