The data is put into a table. Depending on how you paste it in, it may be linked. If it is, then when the data changes in the the Excel file, it will also change in the Word document.

If you do a regular copy and paste, then the chart in the Word document will not change if the data in the Excel spreadsheet does. If you want it to always represent the data as it is the Excel document when it is changed, then you need to link the chart in the Word document to the spreadsheet. You can do it using the Paste Link facility.
Word normally hosts data from Excel. It can display charts that are linked from Excel and will show data from Excel in tables in Word. A Paste Link can be set up, so that if the data changed in the Excel document, it will also change in the Word document.
You do not really import data from Word, but you can cut and paste from Word to Excel. If you like, you can embed the word document in an Excel worksheet.
You would type your initial document in Word and set up your data in a structured manner in Excel. Typically you will have headings at the top of each column of data with the data below. During the merging process you will be given an option of where to choose the source data. It is at this point that you would select your Excel file and the data within it that you need. Word will establish a connection to the Excel file. From the insert field options during the merging process you will then be able to choose from the fields as set up in the Excel file, by picking the heading that you set for a field and inserting it into the Word document at the place you want it.
You do a standard copy and paste. If you paste a link, then it will change in the Word or Excel document when you change the other document. If you do not paste a link, then there is no ongoing connection to the original source and so changing the data in Word has no effect on the source.
The benefit of linking a chart from an Excel worksheet to a Word document is that the chart data will always be current. Excel is spreadsheet software from Microsoft.
Excel and Word can be integrated. You can have some of the spreadsheet appear as a table in Word. If you set a link between them, then when Excel updates, so will the Word document. Word does have the facilities to do its own calcuations in tables, but they are limited and so Excel is better. So if you want the figures in a Word document and to keep them up to date as they change in the Excel document, then a link is the way to do it. You would copy the data you want in Excel, and then do a Paste Link in the Word document.

You can be using the clipboard where the data is being stored during the process. Depending on how you paste it, you might also use the Paste Link option, so that if data changes in the Excel document, it will update it in Word.
