It’s the group that gets the drug or treatment. For example if you are testing a drug, one group gets the drug, and another group gets a pill that looks just like the drug but really only contains sugar or something. The group that gets the drug is the experimental group, and the group that gets the sugar pill (or “placebo”) is the control group.
