Linking would allow the data to stay connected to the original Excel worksheet, so changes made to the formula in that worksheet would automatically update in the Word document. Embedding or copying and pasting would create a static snapshot of the data which would not update with changes made in Excel. Connecting is not a valid option for this scenario.
