why do I call super(props) in react code example

Example 1: what is super(props) in react

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
      super(props);

      this.state = {};
   }

  // React says we have to define render()
  render() {
    return <div>Hello world</div>;
  }
};

Example 2: what is super(props) in react

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    console.log(this); // Reference Error i.e return undefined
  }

  render() {
    return <div>Hello {this.props.name}</div>;
  }
}
