A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you want to use some feature which is not provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.
