It's an extra battery compartment that you attach to the base of the camera (it slides into the normal battery slot, and you attach it into the tripod mount.)
The grip lets you add more batteries, so you can go longer between recharging.
It also adds more weight and volume to the camera, which some people like to have for better stability and grip.
And finally, it has it's own shutter button, which you can easily reach when you shoot in portrait mode (so you don't have to cramp you right hand).

ok, there is no battery grip for a D50 (as long as your refering to the additional perice that give vertical shuter release and double battery power like the BGD200 for the D200). Nikon does not make one for the D50

It's a grip that mimics the main grip, with it's own shoot button and control wheel. But it's mounted on the base of the camera and is designed so yo can hold the camera comfortably in vertical as well as horizontal shooting
