Metadata is "data [information] that provides information about other data".

SEO metadata is what appears on search engine result pages (SERP) when a website comes up for certain queries. It includes the title of the page and its metadescription (descriptive text below the title).

Metadata is information that's kept in the HTML code of a web page specifically for search engines to better understand what that page is about (but there's also a human element, which I'll discuss later). It consists of a title (<title>) tag, a meta description and a meta keywords tag.

Metadata is simply data about data. It means it is a description and context of the data. It helps to organize, find and understand data.

Meta data is information that is hidden in the code of your site and that the search engines use to find out more information about each page on your site. it is a most important part of your site.
