A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a certain feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.
