The First Normal Form (1NF) is a basic concept in database normalization, which is used to structure databases to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity. A table is in the First Normal Form if it meets the following criteria:

Atomicity: Each cell in the table must contain only one value, i.e., it must be indivisible. This means that the data should not contain any sets, arrays, or lists in any of its fields.
Unique Columns: Each column must contain unique values. No two rows can have the same value in the same column unless that column is part of a composite key.
Consistency: Each column must have a unique name, and all values in a column must be of the same type.
Order Independence: The order in which data is stored (both rows and columns) should not affect the database's integrity.
By ensuring that a table adheres to the First Normal Form, it helps to simplify querying and promotes the efficient organization of data, as well as paving the way for further normalization steps like Second Normal Form (2NF) and Third Normal Form (3NF) which further reduce redundancy and dependency.
