to create Fills and/or Strokes.
Image Trace can create vector objects that abut one another (like puzzle
pieces), or that overlap each other (stacking one on top of another). If you
intend to edit the paths, you should probably choose the “Overlapping”
option; with the “Abutting” option, the paths fit together precisely, so editing
one path can create a gap between it and its neighboring (abutting) path.
With Abutting as the Method, you can automatically remove a white
background from your image by enabling “Ignore White.”

With Abutting as the Method, choosing Ignore White lets you automatically
remove a white background from your tracing object
