the single feature array is nothing but a 1D-array. when a 1D-array is passed to sklearn library module it considers and indices of the rows so we need to make other than 1D-array so what reshape(-1,1) does data it creates an array of one column and undefined rows(-1 represent there can be any number of rows).
example:
a = [1,2,3]
//after reshape(-1,1) is applied
a = [[1],
[2],
[3]]
