UVM: UVM Components
A UVM testbench is composed of component objects extended from the uvm_component base class. When a uvm_component derived class object is created, it becomes part of the testbench hierarchy which persists for the duration of the simulation. This contrasts with the sequence branch of the UVM class hierarchy which involves transient objects - objects that are created, used and destroyed (i.e. garbage collected) once dereferenced.
