Simply put it allows you to have your own configuration such as forced SSL and redirects etc in every directory of your site.

It's like having full access for a sites configuration so you as a user can set things as you require.

.htaccess is like, in lay mans terms, a captain for your websites folders, and its subfolders.

It gives general commands to how your websites functions, based on what is located in there.

Htaccess is a configuration file that is used on apache web servers. This is used to make the changes in the configuration for a specific folder. This will ignore the global configuration for that folder and take the configuration from htaccess.
This will be a hidden file and file name will be .htaccess
