The length of the error line indicates the magnitude of the numerical error.

The error line is a line segment drawn in the direction indicating the size of the measured value with the arithmetic mean of the measurement as the midpoint, and half the length of the line segment is equal to the (standard or extended) uncertainty.

It means that the measurement falls on the rod with a certain probability (68% or 95%).
