Is it mandatory for React hooks to begin with the prefix "use"?

edit

Yes, it is mandatory for custom hooks in React to begin with the prefix "use" because it is a convention that signals to other developers that a function is a hook and follows the rules of hooks. The React team has also recommended this convention to avoid naming conflicts and ensure clarity in code. Any function that begins with "use" and follows the rules of hooks can be used as a hook in React.
