React hooks are used to maintain state for individual componenet.We can write component in two different ways. functional component & class componenet. to mange state in functional componenet we can use react hooks. Redux is used to maintain glbal state management. with help of redux we can access a value from any compoenent using redux. This have more code to implement context api also similar to redux, but its used to maintain global state for functional compoenent
