"A means of starting the computer with the minimum settings and drivers, to help a user solve problems that are preventing normal start-up."
"If Windows can't boot up from the hard drive, it will typically start in Safe Mode.... This mode loads the absolute minimum number of drivers required to get your system going so you can troubleshoot the start-up problem."

It is to recover OS system files that are normaly locked and untouchable during normal system usage.
Sometimes these files get corrupted by an update or malware/virus activity.
SafeMode is also for use with utilities to maintain the health of your system like Defrag which is only to be used in safe mode.
If your PC doesn't boot you can use safe mode 90% of the time because Safemode uses protected files that are seperate from the normal OS boot files.
