A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.
