How to create a plot of Poisson distribution in R?

The Poisson distribution is a discrete distribution that has only one parameter named as lambda and it is the rate parameter. The rate parameter is defined as the number of events that occur in a fixed time interval. To create a plot of Poisson distribution in R, we can use the plot function with the density of the Poisson distribution using dpois function.
