It is already a dataframe. That is the class of object that read.table returns.

R is a functional language. Simply applying a function does NOT alter the value
of the arguments. Need to use assignment. If Data had not been a dataframe
already and it had been a list with values whose lengths were equal, then you
would have needed to perform:
Data <- data.frame(Data)
