Hi Reem,
Metadata, in this case, refers to the data from the information or artwork
(or other) template that's used when an image is uploaded to Commons. So
it's not the exif-data, but information about, for example, who's the maker
of a painting, when did he make it, what techniques did he use. Take, for
example, the data from this upload:

Hi all,
As best practice we usually encourage GLAMs to provide as many metadata
as possible for media donations. However, providing these metadata and
"wikifying" them (for examply as part of an upload using Pattypan) can be
quite a bit of work, either for a Wikimedian or a GLAM volunteer/staff
member.
Do we have any case studies outlining immediate benefits of providing
more metadata? For example, does providing more metadata lead to better
uptake of images in articles on WP?
Best
