Recursive as per the terminology, anything which calls itself again and again.

In Business Rule, if we are using update() statement on the same table object, in that case, that BR wil be called again and again, until the breakout condition is met.

This is not recommended as we don't know when the recursion will stop, until and unless we have deliberately put some break by which the recursion will end.
