If someone could explain that would be amazing. :)

Does the bundling happen at run time? or a one-time process?

It is done during development, not at runtime.

Webpack is a tool that helps developers bundle and organize all the files needed for a website, like JavaScript, CSS, and images, into one package. This helps in loading website faster by packaging all files together.
