Datum-Data difference in map behavior in d3

I'm pretty new to d3js and trying to understand the difference between using data and datum to attach data to elements. I've done a fair bit of reading the material online and I think I theoretically understand what's going on but I still lack an intuitive understanding. Specifically, I have a case where I'm creating a map using topojson. I'm using d3js v7.

In the first instance, I have the following code to create the map within a div (assume height, width, projection etc. setup correctly):

var svg = d3.select("div#map").append("svg")
    .attr("width", width)
    .attr("height", height)
    .attr("transform", "translate(" + 15 + "," + 0 + ")"); 

var path = d3.geoPath()
          .projection(projection);

var mapGroup = svg.append("g");

d3.json("json/world-110m.json").then(function(world){
  console.log(topojson.feature(world, world.objects.land))

  mapGroup.append("path") 
     .datum(topojson.feature(world, world.objects.land))
     .attr("class", "land") 
     .attr("d", path); 

});

The console log for the topojson feature looks like this: enter image description here

And the map comes out fine (with styling specified in a css file):enter image description here

But if I change datum to data, the map disappears. I'm trying to improve my understanding of how this is working and I'm struggling a little bit after having read what I can find online. Can someone explain the difference between data and datum as used in this case and why one works and the other doesn't?

Thanks for your help!

The number of nodes and edges I calculated manually and by a method provided by networkx library dont match

I am trying to analyse a graph using networkx library in Python. I have implemented a function that returns the nodes and edges of that graph. After that I counted the number of nodes and edges by implementing the len() function for nodes and edges, which gave me 17 for both nodes and edges. However, when I used the method graph.number_of_nodes() of networkx library it gave me 53. My code: import pandas as pd import networkx as nx import matplotlib.pyplot as plt header_list = ["a","b","w"] E =pd.read_csv("aves-barn-swallow-contact-network.edges",sep=" ",header= None,names=header_list) # print(E.head()) # prints first few rows of the csv file G = nx.from_pandas_edgelist(E,"a","b",["w"]) nx.draw(G) plt.show() class GraphAnalyse: #finding nodes and edges def nodeEdge(self,Graph): nodes = Graph.nodes() edges = Graph.edges() ...
