centrifugal force is a pseudo force which we take into account when we discuss dynamics of particle moving in the circle from that particle frame.

numerically = mv²/R

Centrifugal force is a pseudo force. There is no force that appears to act on a body in circular motion but still because it is constantly changing its direction when moving with uniform or non uniform speed implies that a pseudo force is acting on that body.
