Loops in Python are tools that let you repeat a set of instructions multiple times. Think of them as doing something over and over again until a condition is met.  Loops are needed to automate repetitive tasks. Instead of writing the same code multiple times, you can use a loop to do it for you. This makes your code cleaner, more efficient, and easier to maintain.
There are two main types of loops in Python: for loops and while loops.
