Explanation:

The part that determines the termination of a recursion

This part of a recursion is referred to as the base case.

Take for instance, the following:

factorial(int n) {

   if (n < = 1) {         return 1; }

   else {             return n*factorial(n-1);    }  }

The base case of the above is     if (n < = 1) {         return 1; }

Because the recursion will continue to be executed until the condition is true i.e. n less than or equals 1
