An action-reaction pair is a pair of objects that interact to produce a force on each other of equal magnitude but of opposite direction. Object A exerts a force on object B that pushes/pulls it; and object B exerts a force on object A that pulls/pushes it (respectively).

It is a concept based on Newton's third law of physics.

For ex. The earth has a gravitational force on the moon (which in part keeps the moon in orbit) but the moon also has a force on the earth (which causes the welling up of water- i.e. the tides- during different phases of the moon).

What newton law of motion is also known as actionreaction.?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is often referred to as the action-reaction law. It explains how forces occur in pairs and act in opposite directions.
