What is the most important part of a digital camera?

In the world of digital photography, it's hard to pinpoint the most important part of a digital camera as it's a combination of several components. However, if I had to choose, I'd say the sensor is the most critical. It captures light and turns it into a digital image, essentially serving as the camera's eye. The size and quality of the sensor significantly influence the camera's performance, impacting image resolution, low-light performance, and depth of field. So, in my opinion, the sensor is the heart and soul of a digital camera.
