The document.querySelector method selects a single element from the page, and '.fruits' identifies elements that have the class "fruits". The method selects the first one that has this.

Then, .innerHTML is the element attribute that is associated with what the element displays on the page, and "= fruitList" assigns the content of the variable "fruitList" to that attribute.

So the total effect is to make the contents of "fruitList" appear on the page, inside the first element that has the class "fruits".
