It means that you can operated different applications in different
windows, more than one application at a time. Open a bunch of programs and then minimize them, look at the bottom of your screen and the programs will still be running only in the background. Click on one of the programs at the bottom and it will immediatly be on the screen. Back in the good old days I had a Color Computer by Radio Shack. I bought what was called OS-9 it was an operating program that allowed you to do different programs in different windows. I ran this off 4 floppy drives, the old 5 1/2 inch jobs. There was no hard drives in them. I bought one of the first 125k jobs and updated that to 256 k. I really thaought I had something with this. You can be lucky to have the Windows, it makes like simpler and easier. Back then you had to write your own programs.

When the graphical user interace was invented the method of user interaction was called WIMP - Window Icon Mouse Pointer. The Window is the container holding (or displaying) the application.
Microsoft used that to name their product.
