It is whatever the script is contained in, for example if it is in a tool, script.Parent would be the tool. You can read more information on this property here: Instance | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub.

So, script.Parent gets the parent of the script which is what the script is in. Eg. if the script is in a part and you use script.Parent, it will state the parent of the script, which is the part or thing it in currently in
and PS.
To define it, do local variablename = script.Parent
I would recommend Alvin Blox if your new to scripting or TheDevKing for TweenService
ANDD…
when you get the “Parent” of the script, you can customize it using the variable you defined as it, but it changes depending on what the parent is.

when you type
script.Parent
It means it’s selecting the parent of the script.
For example. Say you have put the script inside a part. By doing script.Parent the script is refering to the part it’s in. Add another .Parent and it will refer to the parent of the part.
Let’s say we do the following;
local GamePlace = script.Parent.Parent
…then the script will select the workplace. Of course there’s a shortcut to this. Instead of doing script.Parent.Parent to select the workplace you can instead do workplace
I hope I helped.

But what if I inserted the script into a workspace not a part?
then the parent would be the workspace, please read my post it gives a comprehensive answer (also click on the link)
Sure, any type of scripter on youtube you can find or comfortable with.
