'Mastering' in the old days was the process of transferring the master tape onto vinyl - a very tricky thing to accomplish. Nowadays the "master tape" (actually usually a hard drive with the songs on) is transferred to a CD, all the while making it as "Hot" or as loud as it possibly can be, and at the same time adding "ISRC codes" so that when radio plays the tunes, they can be easily identified.
There's slightly more to it than that, but that's the basics.

The "master" is the tape that is used to replicate. So if they're going to run a million copies, they'll run them off the original, which is called the master.

because it gives that extra professional edge to your CD - makes sure every song recorded on an album is at the same volume & cleans up any unwanted noise.
Most people are on a budget & skip this process as they don't think it's worth it but remember the guys listening to your demo are pro's & will notice so if you can scrape the cash together do it ....
