## More about NgModules
Your initial app has only a single module, the _root_ module.
As your app grows, you'll consider subdividing it into multiple "feature" modules,
some of which can be loaded later ("lazy loaded") if and when the user chooses
to visit those features.
When you're ready to explore these possibilities, visit the [Angular Modules (NgModule)](guide/ngmodule) guide.
