There was considerable concern that the democrat party was working closely with the domestic terrorist organization, Weather Underground, aka Weathermen. The break in was to find out how involved they were with them.
There was never an evidence that Nixon ordered the break-in or knew about it at the time it happened. The people who ordered it were spying on his competition during the presidential campaign. They were looking for any information about opposing party that might give themselves some advantage in the election campaign.
Nixon's downfall was the cover-up after the break-in occurred.
The Democratic headquarters were located in the Watergate Hotel. The people who broke in were looking for privileged information that would be helpful to the Republicans in the campaign.

It was called Watergate, after the hotel in Washington .
The Watergate was a hotel in Washington DC, and also an office building, where the offices of the Democratic Party were located. The Republican party, led by president Richard Nixon, wanted to find out the strategies the Democrats were planning to use in the up-coming elections, and several Republican operatives broke into the Democratic Party's offices to do some spying. This became known as Watergate because of the location where it occurred.
Some of the President's advisors, all Republicans, were caught spying on the planning meetings of the Democrats in the Watergate Hotel, using a 'bug' and recording device. This practice was considered to be very unethical.
Nixon's own tapes showed that he authorized the payment of "hush money" to cover up the break-in at the Watergate Hotel (into Democratic Party Headquarters). The tapes did not provide evidence that Nixon had ordered or approved of the break-in itself.
