$addFields is an aggregation stage in MongoDB that adds new fields to documents while retaining existing ones, functioning similarly to $project. It allows for various operations such as adding multiple fields, modifying nested documents, overwriting existing fields, and removing fields using the $$REMOVE variable. The aggregation framework is designed to transform data without altering the original documents in the collection.
