I don't get why do we use Flip Flops for Finite State Machines? Can anyone explain?

A state machine is a mathematical model used to describe the behavior of a system or process. It consists of a finite number of states and transitions between those states, determined by inputs and outputs.
In digital logic, state machines are used to design and control digital circuits. They help to organize and sequence the flow of data within a system, ensuring that the correct outputs are produced based on the inputs received.
The two types of state machines are Mealy machines and Moore machines. Mealy machines have outputs that depend on both the current state and input, while Moore machines have outputs that only depend on the current state.
A state transition diagram, also known as a state diagram, is a visual representation of a state machine. It shows the different states of the system, the transitions between those states, and the conditions that trigger those transitions.
State machines can be designed to handle unexpected inputs by including a default or "error" state. If an unexpected input is received, the state machine will transition to this state and take appropriate action, such as displaying an error message or resetting the system.
