Overall, $z$-IDEALS and $z^\circ$-IDEALS in $C(X)$, the ring of all real-valued continuous functions on a space $X$, play a crucial role in the ideal structure of the ring, exhibiting connections with prime IDEALS and offering insights into the interplay between algebraic and topological properties of the space $X$. By exploring their characteristics and relationships with prime IDEALS, we can better understand the intricate nature of these IDEALS and their impact on the structure of $C(X)$. Studying $z$-IDEALS and $z^\circ$-IDEALS in reduced rings, particularly in $C(X)$, sheds light on the fundamental aspects of ring theory and topology, highlighting the intricate connections between these two fields. A pseudoprime $z$-ideal is prime, and a prime ideal minimal over a $z$-ideal ($z^\circ$-ideal), is also a $z$-ideal ($z^\circ$-ideal). Additionally, the sum of a prime ideal and a $z$-ideal is a prime $z$-ideal, and every $z$-ideal ($z^\circ$-ideal) is an intersection of prime $z$-IDEALS ($z^\circ$-IDEALS). Furthermore, every ideal contains the largest $z$-ideal and is included in the smallest $z$-ideal. These properties demonstrate the significance of $z$-IDEALS and $z^\circ$-IDEALS in the ideal structure of the ring $C(X)$ and their role in connecting the algebraic and topological properties of the space $X$. By exploring these properties in reduced rings, especially in $C(X)$, we can appreciate the intricate relationship between the algebraic aspects of $C(X)$ and the topological characteristics of $X$. The elegance and effectiveness of $z$-IDEALS and $z^\circ$-IDEALS in this context highlight their importance in understanding the intersection of algebra and topology within $C(X)$. The study of $z$-IDEALS and $z^\circ$-IDEALS in reduced rings, particularly in $C(X)$, stands out for its elegance and effectiveness in elucidating the ideal structure of the ring $C(X)$. Inasmuch as $z$-IDEALS and $z^\circ$-IDEALS are both algebraic and topological objects, they play a crucial role in bridging the gap between the algebraic properties of $C(X)$ and the topological properties of the space $X$. This article aims to compile and explore the properties of $z$-IDEALS and $z^\circ$-IDEALS in $C(X)$, emphasizing their significance in understanding the connections between algebraic and topological aspects within this framework.
