Its how a computer is identified on a network.

In the case of the internet, its how your network is identified on a system of networks. Your home network (even if its just one computer) would then also have its own system of IP addresses assigned to every device (Modem, router, computer, xbox, anything that connects to the network)

It's like your computers telephone number.   Then the DNS system is like a phonebook so that you don't have to remember numbers, but rather can use words.
