What is the definition of a base

The video tutorial explains the concept of a base in mathematical powers. It begins by defining a power as having a base and an exponent. The base is described as the foundational part of a structure, similar to how it functions in powers. The relationship between the base and exponent is explored, with an example of 3^2 used to demonstrate how the base is multiplied by itself as many times as the exponent indicates. This provides a clear understanding of how bases and exponents work together in mathematical expressions.
