Components are objects that belong to other objects, most often an Actor.
Components are the pieces that make up an Actor.
Components are added to Actors to give them behaviors/functionality.

They are building blocks.
Using a mesh to give an Actor a visual representation is one use of a Component.
A Component must have the BlueprintSpawnableComponent metadata specifier in order to be added to an Actor in Unreal Editor.
There are two types of Components: UActorComponent and USceneComponent.
There are many subclasses of each.
USceneComponent inherits from UActorComponent.
USceneComponents have a transformation and can he arranged in a hierarchy, making the transformations relative to each other.
Component instances are created using factory functions. TODO: Describe how to do that.
Component instances are destroyed by calling the Destroy Component function.
