Explanation

composer.json defines module dependencies in Adobe Commerce because it is the standard PHP package manifest used by Composer, the dependency manager for PHP projects - it specifies which other modules, libraries, or packages a module requires to function. While etc/di.xml handles dependency injection configuration (wiring classes together at runtime), it does not declare module-level package dependencies. registration.php simply registers the module with the Magento framework so it can be discovered, and module.xml (located in etc/) declares the module's name and sequence (load order relative to other modules), not its package dependencies.

Memory tip: Think "Composer = Component dependencies" - whenever you need to pull in external packages or other modules as requirements, that's Composer's job via composer.json.
