"Data that provides information about other data" :) As an example, think of photos. The actual data are the pixels in the image (each one a different color). However, there is also metadata associated with that image (EXIF) - such as what camera was used for shooting, ISO speed, aperture, exposure time, etc. That is not part of the actual image, but instead describes the photo, providing more details about it. For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata
