It is saying that two occurrences happening in sequence does not have to mean that the first event was the cause of the second event.

It is a measure of the strength of a linear relationship between one dependent variable and one or more explanatory variables.It is very important to recognise that a high level of correlation does not imply causation. Also, it does not provide information on non-linear relationships.
It confuses correlation with causation
correlation implies the cause and effect relationship,, but casuality doesn't imply correlation.

Correlation alone cannot be able to complicate causation.
No! Correlation by itself is not sufficient to infer or prove causation.
Correlation is a statistical measure of the linear association between two variables. It is important to remember that correlation does not mean causation and also that the absence of correlation does not mean the two variables are unrelated.
People with bigger feet have higher intelligence, and people with smaller feet have lower intelligence. In other words, foot size is correlated with intelligence. However, it's clear that if I could have made my feet bigger it would not have made me more intelligent. In other words, in increase in foot size is not a cause of greater intelligence. That's what 'correlation does not imply causation' means.

The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure of the extent to which two variables change. A correlation coefficient of -0.80 indicated that, on average, an increase of 1 unit in variable X is accompanied by a decrease of 0.8 units in variable Y. Note that correlation does not imply causation.

Correlation is when two things are related or have similar properties and they can exist independently. Causation means that one thing made the other thing happen.
Causation cannot be determined.
