Explanation

True. Steganography is the practice of hiding a secret message within an ordinary, non-secret message or file (such as an image, audio file, or text) so that only the intended recipient knows a hidden message exists. Unlike encryption, which obscures the content of a message, steganography conceals the very existence of the message, making it a technique for maintaining data confidentiality and covert communication.
