Is suffering an essential tool for learning, or just an inevitable side effect of samsara?

I’m trying to better understand the role of suffering.

Does suffering exist because it is the best way to motivate learning?

Or does it just exist as a side effect of samsara, something that is unavoidable until we learn enough?
