What is a clipping path?

Question

Someone wants me to create clipping paths of images. I've never heard the term before...what does it mean? What does this process entail?

I am able to do a lot of things that I don't always know the name for, and if I don't know how to do something, I learn to do it well and do it quickly. I just need someone to give me a nudge in the right direction. Any websites or info pertaining to this topic would be appreciated, thanks!
