sync is short for synchronizing. It basically means keeping multiple copies of the same data current. For example, if you add a contact to your phone, it will sync to gmail and you will have that contact available there to. Many Android services sync automatically by default, so unless you turned it off, you are already sync'ing your data.

Simple:
You go to a party and get the number of 20 pretty girls.
So you turn on "Contact sync", and they will all be stored in your Google Account. (Google.com/contacts)
So if you get stolen the next day, you can buy another phone and log in to your google account, and those 20 contacts will be restored to your new phone.
