the independent is the one that changes dependent is the one being test
The dependent variable is the variable that varies or changes as a result of the independent variable. The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated in an experiment to test the impact on the other variable. ;
The independent variable is the factor manipulated by the researcher, while the dependent variable is the outcome measured in response. The relationship between them helps establish cause-and-effect in experiments. For example, when studying plant growth, the amount of sunlight (independent variable) affects plant height (dependent variable).
