ResourceModel’s load method is an alternative to AbstractModel’s load method. You can use like below code snippet.

class TestRepository implements TestRepositoryInterface
{
  private $customerResource;

  private $customerFactory;
  
  public function __construct(
  \Magento\Customer\Model\ResourceModel\Customer $customerResource,
  \Magento\Customer\Model\CustomerFactory $customerFactory
  ){
     $this->customerResource = $customerResource;
     $this->customerFactory = $customerFactory;
   }

  public funtion getCustomer($id)
  {
    $customerModel = $this->customerFactory->create();
    $this->customerResource->load($customerModel, $id);
    $customerModel->getEmail();  
  }
} 

To load customer we have to use the ResourceModel’s load method of customer module. This method accepts two parameters. The First parameter is Model Object and second parameter is the id you want to load.

  protected $resource;
  
  public function __construct(
  \Codextblog\Task\Model\ResourceModel\Task $resource,
  \Codextblog\Task\Model\TaskFactory $taskFactory
  ){
     $this->resource = $resource;
     $this->taskFactory = $taskFactory;
   }

  public funtion save($taskData)
  {
    $taskModel = $this->taskFactory->create()->setData($taskData);
    $this->resource->save($taskModel);
