A:
www stands for world wide web. Many web addresses begin with www, because of the long-standing practice of naming Internet hosts (servers) according to the services they provide.

A:
A FQDN starting with "www." is used, by convention, for the machine hosting the primary website for a domain.
These days, where websites are more important then they were in the early days of the Internet, it is conventional to also run a webserver on the main machine for the domain (i.e. example.com rather than www.example.com) (these are usually the same machine) and redirect from one to the other.
