DHCP is a client server protocol and it stands for dynamic host configuration protocol. It is used for network management protocol to dynamically assign an Internet Protocol address to any device on the network. So they can communicate using IP.
The primary reason DHCP is needed is to simplify the management of IP addresses on networks. No two hosts can have the same IP address, and configuring them manually will likely lead to errors. Even on small networks manually assigning IP addresses can be confusing, particularly with mobile devices that require IP addresses on a non-permanent basis. Also, most users aren’t technically proficient enough to locate the IP address information on a computer and assign it. Automating this process makes life easier for users and the network administrator.
