When analyzing data scientists look for patterns, that help them form predictions.
Patterns are rules that variations/characteristics follow, either in data or anything else patterns might be used for.
Example:
The fact that worms are found always 10 meters forom eachother (not true, it's an example) is a pattern, that will help you predict the location of the next worm.
