It is a file that lives in the web root of your site.
It can have instructions in it:
- to redirect all non-www requests to www (to avoid duplicate content issues)
- to stop people hotlinking to your images
- to keep certain malicious bots completely out of your site
- to password protect a folder
- to make dynamic URLs look like folder-structure URLs (more friendly to search engines)
- and many other things.
