The main purpose of the nucleolus is to produce and assemble ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis in the cell. It is a dense region within the nucleus where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is synthesized and combined with proteins to form the subunits of ribosomes. These ribosomal subunits are then transported to the cytoplasm, where they play a crucial role in translating mRNA into proteins. Additionally, the nucleolus is involved in regulating the cell's response to stress and other cellular functions.
