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.

Dataframe is a popular [[pandas]] [[datatype]] to represent [[datasets]] in memory. A DataFrame can be thought of as a table or spreadsheet. Each column of a DataFrame has a name (a header), and each row is identified by a unique number. A Dataframe column in structured as a 2D array and each column can have its own data type.

DataFrame is a tabular data structure in which information is organized into rows and columns. It resembles an array, with rows representing instances or samples and columns representing attributes or features. Each column has a specific data type like numbers, text or dates and can be labeled with its own unique name for easy identification. The DataFrame is both flexible and powerful - capable of handling both structured and unstructured information alike.
