'make' command goes run ./configure

Question

So, i compile apt from source code, i need running ./configure before running make. But why, when run make command, it's goes running ./configure. Why that's running ./configure when i running make? Because make reconfigure it?

Note

I see an multiple Makefile file in apt source code folder.
