<animate attributeName="y" from="0" to="300"

Answer 1

Hi Agnes i believe in this SVG situation the attributeName is referring to a specific element to change. X being along the X axis left to right if it were changed to y it would change the Y axis moving the object up and down. I hope this explanation helps.
