The reason you should cite sources correctly is twofold:
1. To avoid any claims of plagiarism and ensure the appropriate parties are credited.
2. To ensure those wishing to do further reading or fact checking can quickly and easily locate the correct source.
Citing a source means acknowledging where you obtained specific information or ideas from in your work. This is usually done by including a reference to the original source in your writing, which allows readers to locate the source themselves if needed.
It means to write a bibliography, but when you cite it also includes websites :)
It means to list or write the sources of information used. For instance if you found your info in an encyclopedia (god forbid) list or write down Britannica.

what is meant by "citing a source"

No, citing the wrong source is simply an error. Plagiarism is failing to cite a source, so that you are presenting someone else's work as your own.
When citing a source, you should include the author's name, the title of the work, the publication date, the name of the publisher or journal, and the URL if it's an online source.

When citing a source, it is important to include the author's name and the publication date of the work. This provides proper credit to the original creator and allows readers to locate the source for further reference.
One word for directing to a source for information is "refer".
If you're citing for a high school or undergraduate paper, just follow your teacher's directions. If you're citing for a law school paper or as an attorney, never cite to Vernon's. It is a secondary source of law that is meant to help readers understand the law. It is only persuasive, not binding. So, cite to the actual RSMo.
