CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
It as mentioned before keeps stored in it all the style information of a website (fonts sizes, colours). This helps when dealing with large websites as each page can look in this one doucument for all the information on how to display its content. Making it a lot easier when it comes to changing the look of a website. For exaplme if you have 100 pages it would take a long time to go through all of those pages and change the colour of the backgrond and text But if all the pages look to this one css file for the colour information then you just have to change part of this one document and it will change the background and text colour on everypage.
Hope this helps you understand it a little better.

The whole HTML page can be cascaded into three layers..The Structure or the Markup layer , the presentation layer and the behaviour layer. The CSS falls into the presentation layer. we control the complete look and feel of the page using CSS. People started using CSS so that they can control the complete structure using one single file.

it has definitions for styles used in the web pages-- things like font styles, colors, sizes, backround images, etc. etc.
