Data is the backbone of machine learning models. To effectively work with data, it must be organized and formatted for analysis - which is where DataFrames come into play. A DataFrame is a two-dimensional table-like data structure where rows and columns of information are organized. It's an essential concept in data analysis and widely employed in machine learning applications.
