A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different sites that are associated in some way. As an example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views about your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
