It's a system variable in the operating system. It tells the system where to find a program if you give just the program name without the location of the program, like adb instead of c:\install\android_sdk_r06\adb. Search for Windows path or Linux path and read up on it.

It is a Windows thing, not a Phonegap one. For many tools you need to set the path variable (which is basically the location of where the tools is installed/located) that enables the system to find it. It is like you are telling the system where to find that tool.
