Single line question but reply is long enough to write a book:)
Roughly and shortly it's another kind of database where you can store your data with its spatial information and query on it. GIS stands for GeographicalInformationSystem.
For some more info visit a GIS page (www.manifold.net, www.esri.com,www.gis.com etc - not in any special order, there are tons of them)
