It is described in a succinct way. "DataFrames" is that description. It's the very first text on the page. It's really the same as having the word "database" be the first text on the landing page of a new database project. If you don't know what the word "database" means, the landing page for a new database project is really not the place to expect to learn about that. The "data frame" concept is not quite as old or broad as the concept of "databases", but it's really not that far off. It's decades old, and is about as close to a universal concept for data work as it's possible to get.
