Hierarchical clustering builds clusters in a stepwise manner, either by starting with all data points as individual clusters and merging them (agglomerative approach) or by starting with one cluster containing all data points and dividing it (divisive approach). This process does not partition all data into clusters in a single step, but rather incrementally.
