The reduce() function in Python applies a function to the elements of a sequence and reduces them to a single value. It is defined in the functools module. It takes the first two elements, applies the function, uses the result as the first argument with the next element, and so on to keep reducing the sequence into a single value. It can be used with lambda functions or operator functions to perform tasks like summing a list, finding the maximum value, or concatenating strings.
