The mechanism by which Data Studio accesses a specific data platform, system, or product.

Connectors connect Data Studio to your underlying data. Connecting to your data creates a data source in Data Studio.
Data sources represent a particular instance of a connector: for example, a connection to a specific BigQuery table or query, a Google Analytics property, or Google Sheets. Data sources let you configure the fields and options that are provided by the connector that's used to create that connection instance. In addition, the data source gives you a secure way to share information and insights with report viewers who may not be able to directly access the underlying data.
