Help BusyBox what for?

[bbqbrisket]

So, I now have a rooted.
I see a lot of talk about now being able to use BusyBox. So, I downloaded this app. Opened it up and it looked like it was too complex for a simple user like me.
So, if I don't know what all the jargon is or about programming, what do I need it for?

BusyBox provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a single executable file. It runs in a variety of POSIX environments such as Linux (including Android),[7][8] FreeBSD[9] and others, such as proprietary kernels, although many of the tools it provides are designed to work with interfaces provided by the Linux kernel. It was specifically created for embedded operating systems with very limited resources. The authors dubbed it "The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux",[10] as the single executable replaces basic functions of more than 300 common commands.

Busybox is a collection of simple, but powerful, Linux utilities, that android doesn't come with by default. It is used by apps like MetaMorph and Titanium backup in order to do special operations.

Basically, what you need to know is certain rooted apps will require code that is provided by busybox. If something says it requires busybox, simply download the app and run it, and there will be a button that says to install it.
