    I found out the answer yesterday and it is that the relationship between the runApp function and MyHomePage class is that parameter named home in MyApp class takes MyHomePage class as its value

    Flutter is based on a widget tree. To the runApp method only the root of the tree is passed. In this example, MyApp is the root of this tree and all other widgets are referenced only by being in MyApp or its children. For example, here MyHomePage is a child of MyApp. Away from the pages, the "smaller" widgets like Text or Container are also part of this tree and referenced in the single pages.

    Whatever valid widget you pass inside runApp() will be displayed and it will be considered as the root widget of the app tree.

    So, it is best to use a widget which returns a MaterialApp() widget as this will constitute the window frame of your app on which other widgets will be displayed as pages.

    These page widgets that will be routed to the MaterialApp widget should in turn return a Scaffold() widget.
