It backs up the claim.
Evidence (facts, statistics, examples, expert quotes) is used to support and justify your main claim(s). It’s not another claim or just an opinion. (Note: you can also use evidence to support or refute a counterclaim when addressing it, but the primary purpose is to back up your claim.)
