Could you please elaborate on the concept of a 'block' in the context of Bitcoin? I'm curious to understand how it functions within the Bitcoin network and its significance in maintaining the integrity of the blockchain. Specifically, I'd like to know what comprises a block, how it is generated, and how it contributes to the overall security and reliability of the Bitcoin system. Your explanation would be greatly appreciated as I'm just starting to delve into the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
