How to access the relevant documentation for plotLinesAndBands in Highcharts？

Question

I am a newcomer learning Highcharts, and I've been exploring issues related to plotLines. I've noticed that many people mention plotLinesAndBands, but I haven't found any documentation about it on the official website or elsewhere. How can I obtain information about it?

The plotLinesAndBands object serves as the container for storing plotlines or plotBands within the chart configuration.

The documentation outlines how to configure the chart, where plotLines/plotBands are directly specified within the axis, as follows:

  yAxis: {
    plotLines: [{
      color: 'blue',
      width: 5,
      value: 5.5
    }],
    plotBands: [{
      color: 'red',
      from: 2,
      to: 4
    }]
  },

However, the plotlines or plotBands reside within the plotLinesAndBands object, and you can easily verify this using the devtool:
