The "trial and error" method generally means taking an educated guess as to an answer, then seeing if that fits the original question or not. The next step is to slightly modify the guess, and try again... The repeated trying and retrying becomes known as "trial and error"--trial for the trying, error for knowing a result isn't right, and starting again. Many professionals tend to dislike the term "trial and error", by the way, but are perfectly willing to accept "It's an iterative process".

a bird flies to a bird house with a twig crosswise in its beak during the construction of a nest. The twig is too long to pass through the hole in the bird house. The bird makes several attempts to enter, with the twig in various positions. Finally, the twig is turned and the bird slides it into the bird house.

In trial and error learning, an animal learns to perform a behavior more and more skillfully by repeating behaviors that result in rewards and avoiding behaviors that result in punishment.
