This phrase shows the main reason for something. It is like building a house on a strong foundation. This makes it sound very logical and true. You will see it a lot in official papers and school work.

This is different from other similar phrases. It means you use facts or rules as a base. "〜に沿って" means you follow a plan. "〜通りに" means you follow exact instructions. You use facts "〜に基づいて". You follow a plan "〜に沿って". You follow instructions "〜通りに".

Don't use this when you mean a simple object. For example, you can't say "based on a chair." The noun must be like a rule or information. It needs to be a strong base for something.
