A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the main school website. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.
