Are you supposed to wash tofu?

Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice your mention of tofu and washing it. Could you elaborate on that? Is there a specific reason or method for washing tofu before using it? I'm not familiar with this practice and am curious to learn more. Does it improve the flavor, texture, or have some other benefit? Additionally, are there any precautions or specific steps to follow when washing tofu? I'd appreciate any insights you can provide.
