An embedded system is a special-purpose system in which the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. Unlike a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer, an embedded system performs pre-defined tasks, usually with very specific requirements. Since the system is dedicated to a specific task, design engineers can optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the product. Embedded systems are often mass-produced, so the cost savings may be multipled by millions of items.

If you are talking about digital images, like in a word program, then it means that the word file saves the picture all in the program. Where as non-embedded images, like in After Effects or video editing software, the pictures are referenced. They do this because those programs would just have massive file sizes if it was all embedded. Also if that file went bad then you would lose all those files.
