In its simpliest terms...symbolic links (or symlinks) is a way of making the same file available by another name or by making the same file available in another directory (or both).
For example, you might have a file buried in a system bath such as
/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf
But you could make a symlink to a file in your home directory
ln -s /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf vh.conf
So, I can edit vh.conf and it'll make the changes in the proper Vhosts.conf.
