+# Block List
+
+The `BlockList` component is responsible for rendering a list of blocks within the WordPress block editor. It manages the layout, interactions, and UI behaviors for blocks within the editor interface.
+
+## Usage
+
+This component is used internally within the WordPress block editor and is not typically used directly by block developers. It renders blocks inside a parent container, applying necessary UI behaviors such as selection handling, focus management, and appender display.
+
+### Example
+
+```jsx
+import BlockList from '@wordpress/block-editor/components/block-list';
+
+function MyEditorComponent( props ) {
+    return (
+        <BlockList rootClientId={ props.clientId } />
+    );
+}
+```
+
+## Props
+
+| Prop                      | Type       | Description |
+|---------------------------|------------|-------------|
+| `rootClientId`            | `string?`  | The client ID of the root block whose inner blocks will be rendered. If omitted, renders the top-level blocks. |
+| `placeholder`             | `ReactNode?` | Placeholder content displayed when no blocks are present. |
+| `renderAppender`          | `Function?` | Custom function to render an appender component (e.g., the "+" button for adding new blocks). Defaults to the standard block appender. |
+| `__experimentalAppenderTagName` | `string?` | Tag name for the appender element. |
+| `layout`                  | `Object?`  | The layout configuration for blocks, affecting their positioning and arrangement. |
+
+## Features
+
+- **Block Rendering:** Displays a list of blocks based on the provided `rootClientId`.
+- **Selection & Focus Handling:** Manages block selection, focus state, and block visibility.
+- **Zoom-Out Mode:** Provides UI behavior for zooming out from nested block structures.
+- **Block Editing Mode Integration:** Supports different block editing modes, including content-only editing and disabled states.
+- **Block Appender Support:** Displays an appender UI when appropriate, allowing users to insert new blocks.
+
+## Related Components
+
+- [`BlockListBlock`](./block) - Renders individual blocks within the `BlockList`.
+- [`BlockListAppender`](../block-list-appender) - Provides UI for adding new blocks.
+- [`useInnerBlocksProps`](../inner-blocks) - Hook for managing inner blocks and their props.
+
+## Notes
+
+The `BlockList` component plays a crucial role in structuring the block editor. While it is used internally, developers working on extending or modifying the editor interface may need to interact with it for advanced customization.
