A control refers to the "control group" in a scientific experiment. The control group is compared to the experimental group.
For example, pretend you are experimenting to see if a drug works. Group A (The experimental group) is given the real drug, and Group B (The control group) is given a fake drug (placebo) to compare results.
The control is whatever you base your experiment on. No control = you can't compare your data to anything = good luck making sense out of your experiment. You aren't following the scientific method if there is no control.
To be able to compare the results to something.

It is important to have controlled variables in a scientific experiment because it is the variable that remains the same it doesn't change. Its a consent & can be measured against.

A scientific control is used to minimize the unintended influence of other variables on the same system
