Generally, when you know the shape of a character, but do not know the pronunciation or meaning of the character, you can use the radicals of the character to look it up.

Chinese characters are all square characters, and the radicals are the components that make up a compound character. In ancient times, people called the left part of the left and right parts of a compound character "radical", and the right part "phonetic". In modern times, in order to reduce the difficulty of recognizing the characters, we call all parts of the compound character "radical".
