its change cause
The independent variable in an controlled experiment is what you are changing (for example, amount of water or sunlight a plant gets). The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. Its the outcome of the independent variable.
An independent variable is the variable in the experiment that affects the other variable. For example, in an experiment that tests the affect of the amount of fertilizer on plant growth, the amount of fertilizer is the independent variable and the plant growth is the dependent variable. This is because the plant growth DEPENDS on the amount of fertilizer.
