It is called a control group.
Experiments typically involve:1) Experimental group: the group of subjects exposed to the variable being tested.2) Control group: should be as identical as possible to the experimental group, but is deliberately not exposed to the experimental variable - this provides a baseline measure from which the effect of the variable can be determined.
proven, tested, tried

To have something to compare to that was exposed to all the same conditions, except the single variable condition being tested.

Control
Which group in am controlled experiment is not exposed to the experimental variable
The control, or control group, goes through all the steps of an experiment, but does not contain the factor being tested, which is called the experimental variable or independent variable.
establish a control group identical to the experimental group except for the variable being tested
The control group is necessary to know if the factor being tested is making a difference in the experimental group. Both should be subject to the same conditions, except for the one condition or factor being tested on the experimental group. Differences between the outcomes of the two groups, good or bad, can then be attributed to the one factor that is different. Without the control, it would be most difficult to tell what the factor being tested had done, because it's not really possible to tell what would have happened without it.

Im in 7th grade and i learned it like 3 years ago. its the variable.
