A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. As an illustration, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.
