Entities are one of the other foundational building blocks of an ECS system. They have a two main jobs, One is to own components. They do not contain logic either, however their second purpose is to relate to each other. Entity A may be parent of Entity B. In that case Components and Systems may act differently.

This can also be used to make actions. For example, Entity A might be related to Entity B with Component "Attack". In this case "A ---Attack--> B" is the relationship. This is how we can have a world where entities interact with each other.
