The part of an experiment that is not being tested and is used for comparison is called the control group. This group does not receive the experimental treatment and serves as a baseline to help determine the effects of the independent variable. Having a control group is crucial for ensuring that the observed outcomes in the experimental group are indeed due to the variable being tested.
