Base class for everything that can be attached to a GameObject.
Note that you don't instantiate the Component class directly. Instead, you write code in MonoBehaviour scripts, which inherit from Component, and attach the scripts to a GameObject.
Additional resources: ScriptableObject as a way to create scripts that do not attach to any GameObject.

| GetComponentInChildren | Gets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, or any child of the GameObject. |
| GetComponentIndex | Gets the index of the component on its parent GameObject. |
| GetComponentInParent | Gets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, or any parent of the GameObject. |
| GetComponents | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified. |
| GetComponentsInChildren | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, and any child of the GameObject. |
| GetComponentsInParent | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, and any parent of the GameObject. |
| SendMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object. |
| SendMessageUpwards | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour. |
