In Rust, generic types allow functions, structs, enums, and traits to work with multiple data types. By using placeholders like <T>, you write flexible, reusable code. Generics ensure type safety at compile time, enabling efficient, type-agnostic programming without sacrificing performance. Example: fn add<T: Add>(x: T, y: T) -> T.
