A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you need to use a feature that's not offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.
