Thesis

A thesis is like the main idea or argument of a research paper, essay, or project. It’s the point you’re trying to prove or explain, supported by evidence and examples. For example, if you’re writing about climate change, your thesis might be: "Human activities are the primary cause of global warming." In short, it’s the central message or claim you’re making in your work.
