Why is the space complexity of a recursive algorithm often higher than its iterative counterpart?

The space complexity of a recursive algorithm is often higher than its iterative counterpart because recursion requires additional stack space to store the state of each function call. Each recursive call adds a new frame to the call stack, which increases the overall space complexity.
Regarding Binary Trees, which of the following is true? When does the Dijkstra's algorithm fail to find the shortest path in a graph? The time complexity of finding a shortest path in a network is: What is the name of a linear collection of data components where the linear node is provided by a pointer? Which type of algorithms are applicable to scheduling resources in operating systems? What is the time complexity of inserting an element into a Binary Search Tree (BST) in the worst case? Where is a heap data structure typically used? When we attempt to add the eleventh element to a stack with a size of 10, we encounter a circumstance known as: Which of the following are true about the Weiner filter? Which data structure is most suitable for implementing an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache? How much time would it take to add an element to the linked list asymptotically?
