Correlation refers to a statistical measure of the relationship between two variables. When variables increase or decrease together, it indicates a positive correlation, while when they move in opposite directions, it indicates a negative correlation. However, correlation does not imply causation, which is a relationship between cause and effect where one variable (the cause) directly influences another variable (the effect).
