To make a request from a react-native application you will most likely use the fetch API. Since fetch API supports https requests your requests will be encrypted the same way they would be from a browser. That is if you use https and not http.
UPDATE:
I am gonna answer your question here since it is too much for a comment.
Stopping someone from sending requests to your server is not possible since the url is public. It is like taking the url from a site (e.g. Google) and sending requests.
Now if they can do something malicious just by getting a hold of the url and spamming, this is a vulnerability of the server and you have to handle it on the server(you will still receive the request), you can find a lot of things about how to secure your server on google.

Thank you, also what would I need to do to make sure only the mobile client and server can only communicate with each other? an example, if someone gets a hold of my api url they would not be able to make requests or do anything malicious since the url will be stored client side
