The singular of data in Latin is datum, but in English it’s data. It is a mass noun where it’s not easy to break it into individual, countable pieces. Something like sand is almost never represented in ite plural form of sands.

It’s become a mass noun, but only thanks to years of people using it wrongly. It was originally very much the plural of datum
