Q: 

what does the Lookup field mean in SharePoint

I am quite new to SharePoint,sometimes when I read book or blog, I come across "two lists in SharePoint ,with one list performing a lookup on the other list.".What does the lookup mean here , can anyone point me some tutorial to understand this?

+2  A: 

The blog you read meant "Lookup Column". It is a mechanism to refer columns in one list from abother list. There are some nice improvements in Sharepoint 2010 around this area. Please check following video for more information.
