Could you elaborate on the concept of a "block" in the realm of cryptocurrency? I've heard it mentioned frequently but am still unclear on its exact function and significance. Is it a data structure? What information does it typically contain? How does it relate to the blockchain? I'm particularly interested in understanding how the blocks are linked together and how this contributes to the overall security and integrity of the cryptocurrency system. Your clarification on these points would be greatly appreciated.
