In SQL, which is a language used to communicate with databases, the 'FROM' command is an important part of a query. When you want to get information from a database, you need to tell the computer where to look. The 'FROM' command is used to specify the table you want to retrieve data from. For example, if you have a database of students and you want to find out a student's name and grade, you would use the 'FROM' command to tell the computer to look in the table that contains the student information. It's like giving directions in a library to find the right book on a shelf.
