A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students as well as the main school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
