Before staring, please check this article What Are Azure Resources and Resource Groups?
Benefits:

The main benefits are administration is much easier. Let's understand this with an example.
Consider a virtual machine. When we create a virtual machine in azure, several other associated resources are automatically created like the following - a disk for the virtual machine, public IP address, network interface, network security group and a virtual network.
Without these resources, an azure virtual machine doesn’t work as expected.
After you're done with the VM, you may want to delete it to save on cost. However, when you delete the virtual machine, the associated resources are not automatically deleted. You have to delete them manually.
If you forget to delete one or more associated resources, you are unnecessarily paying for those resources that you're not actually using.

Now, let's quickly take a look at this in action.

Create the Virtual Machine:

Open the Portal and Create the Virtual Machine

Fill the Details as below and Click on Review + Create

After validation is done then click on create

VM will be created, you can see the VM under the resource group

If you want to delete the VM after your work, then only deleting the VM will not delete the resources which were created, you need to delete them manually by selecting each

If you delete the resource group, then all the resource will be deleted.

To check the cost management of resource, navigate to cost management > cost analysis

To add the access to the resource, navigate to Access Control (IAM) > Click on Add button to control the resource access from the resource group level

Conclusion:

When using the resource group, we need not to delete the resource manually
Without Resource group development and deployment will be critical and time-consuming job.
Cost management is much easier.
Role-based access control can be applied at the resource group level.
Resource groups offer great benefits both to developers and administrators.

Azure Resource Groups offer streamlined resource management by enabling users to organize and manage multiple resources as a single entity, simplifying deployment, monitoring, and access control. They also enhance cost management and optimization by allowing for consolidated billing and resource tracking within specific projects or environments.
