A dataset on the System-i/iSeries/AS400 is the equivalent of a table. A set of rows subdivided into one or more columns.

It's used to keep information persistent on the system.

It’s a vague term, used in documentation to indicate ..

anything at all
a set of data, in one or many files/tables

avoid it. Unless vagueness is required, (such as for management, or auditors, who know no better) be specific

Use ‘File’ ‘Table’ ‘View’ ‘ access path’

They all refer to data on a disk (solid state or otherwise) and the arrangement for retreiving the said data.
