TWRP is an abbreviation for Team Win Recovery Project, which is an open-source custom recovery software for Android smartphones and tablets. TWRP is used to flash third-party custom ROMs, Kernels, and mods, and also to take an Android backup.
It also provides the user with a complete touchscreen-based interface and allows users to root Android via SuperSU and Magisk Module. So, it is often preferred over other custom recovery software such as ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery.
