Detailed explanation-1: -Data on a star network passes through the hub before continuing to its destination. The hub manages and controls all functions of the network. It also acts as a repeater for the data flow. The star topology reduces the impact of a transmission line failure by independently connecting each host to the hub.
Detailed explanation-2: -A star network is a local area network (LAN) topology in which all nodes–personal computers (PCs), workstations or other devices–are directly connected to a common central computer that is often referred to as a hub. Therefore, a star network is often referred to as a hub-and-spoke network topology.
