What is index fragmentation and how it impacts performance?

How to identify and resolve SQL Server index fragmentation?
The index fragmentation is the index performance value in percentage, which can be fetched by SQL Server DMV.

Can You reorganize and rebuild indexes in the database?
You can remedy index fragmentation by reorganizing or rebuilding an index. For partitioned indexes built on a partition scheme, you can use either of these methods on a complete index or a single partition of an index. Rebuilding an index drops and re-creates the index.
