How to remove the row names or column names from a matrix in R?

To remove the row names or column names from a matrix, we just need to set them to NULL, in this way all the names will be nullified. For example, if we have a matrix M that contain row names and column names then we can remove those names by using the command colnames(M)<-NULL for columns and rownames(M)<-NULL for rows.
