They also allow primitive values to be stored in collections, which require objects. The video covers the Java equivalents of primitive types, such as Integer for int and Character for char, and highlights the importance of wrapper classes in Java programming. The video concludes with a promise to explore wrapper classes and their methods in more detail in the next video.
