A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.
