In music, sampling is the act of taking a portion of one sound recording, the sample, and reusing it as an instrument or element of a new recording. This is typically done with a sampler, which can be a piece of hardware or a computer program on a digital computer. Sampling is also possible with tape loops or with vinyl records on a phonograph.
Often "samples" consist of one part of a song, such as a break, used in another, for instance the use of the drum introduction from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" in songs by the Beastie Boys, Mike Oldfield and Erasure, and the guitar riffs from Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" in Tone-Loc's "Funky Cold Medina". "Samples" in this sense occur often in hip hop and R&B, but are becoming more common in other music, as well.

Referring to the member in the band- The person who usually samples is the DJ, this is why it is mostly common in Hip Hop, Techno etc. types of music that commonly have DJ's.
As for the rest- Smokeater hit the nail on the head.

Sampling took place in the 1970"s when Sugarhill Band took Chics and Goodtimes and replayed them in a live band.
