Analogically, imagine you send a message that includes numbers.
Before sending it, you also add a few extra numbers (just like adding spare parts) that allow the receiver to double-check if there were any mistakes.
When the receiver gets your message, they can use these extra numbers to detect errors (wrong numbers or missing numbers) and even fix them.
In QR codes, the error correction system allows the missing or incorrect parts of the grid to be recrafted. This is why you can scan a QR code that’s partially damaged or dirty.
