`How Consumer gets object references in Dagger`

In a dagger there can be multiple components and the consumer might have to get the objects from all the components
So whatever the requirements of the consumer, The consumer requests from corresponding components.
The component finds the object(if exists) and provides it from @Inject annotated constructor or from a @Module.
The component could be defined at an application level, activity level, or fragment level.

Now the consumer can request in such a way that, Say consumer requests some object references from a fragment component, and the fragment component can request some object references from an application component.
Thus there can be a relationship between the components and thus a dependency.
Now finally the fragment component will be the one that gives the references to the consumer.
