What is API Gateway and why is it used in microservices?

I'm learning microservices architecture and often hear about API Gateway. I understand it sits between clients and services, but I'm unsure what problems it solves.
Can someone explain how an API Gateway works, its benefits, and when it's recommended in modern web applications?
