Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Star topology is a network topology in which each network component is physically connected to a central node such as a router, hub or switch. In a star topology, the central hub acts like a server and the connecting nodes act like clients.

Detailed explanation-2: -A star topology is the most commonly used network configuration. In this type of topology, nodes are connected to a central device like a switch or a hub with the help of coaxial cable, optical fiber, or twisted pair cable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Star topology is a computer network topology in which all the nodes are connected to a centralized hub. The hub or switch acts as a middleware between the nodes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Star. A star topology is designed with each node (file server, workstations, and peripherals) connected directly to a central network hub, switch, or concentrator (See fig. 2). Data on a star network passes through the hub, switch, or concentrator before continuing to its destination.
