What is a fork? A fork is a Branch in a blocking chain, which serves as the beginning for a new crypto currency based on what is already available. actually, you can create a fork based on the existing crypto currency, because the developer does not need any thoughts or fantasies, because copying is much easier than creating it yourself. and at least you can split a fork in the crypto world-any currency, so it was decided that the most popular crypto currency for such an experiment is bitcoin .

BCC header validation rules are less secure
Compared to Bitcoin. Therefore, it is impossible to use
The same rule for both chains in Electrum, without decreasing significantly
Security of Bitcoin transaction legit authorization.
So, to support Bitcoin and BCC safely the same
Electrum Client, one needs to implement two separate devices
The header validation rule This is clearly outside the multiple scopes
Chain validation Once again, the purpose of MCV is to protect users from
Blockchain forks that are not detected by the classic SPV model,
As block size increases.

the fork is a technical event that occurs because diverse participants need to agree with common rules, there are two types fork the first is the hard fork and the second soft fork. a soft fork means by contrast, is any change that's backward compatible and the hard fork means Nodes that continue running the old version of the software will see the new transactions as invalid.
