Ownership in Rust ensures memory safety without garbage collection. Each value has a single owner, and when ownership is transferred (moved), the original owner loses access. Borrowing (&), mutability (mut), and lifetimes provide controlled access. Ownership rules prevent data races and dangling references, ensuring efficient, safe memory management.
