It's just a syntax for example In other programming languages the block of code would be enclosed with { } ex: if(condition){ IF BLOCK STATEMENTS } else{ ELSE BLOCK STATEMENTS } Instead of this block of code differentiation python uses, colon and intendation ex if(condition): IF BLOCK STATEMENTS else: ELSE BLOCK STATEMENTS as u see the curly braces replaced with colon and indentation (4 spaces by default) It would be convenient for developers to remember the exact block of code they are dealing just by looking rather than counting the { } Especially in complex nested if statements Hope u got my point.

Definition of Indentation in English is a space before beginning of line or a paragraph. In python 4 spaces are used for indentation in if function to differentiate from other line of codes.
