What it means is that if you have a picture you want to display, but the area in which you have to display it is smaller than the picture, setting the max-width of the image to 100% will re-size the picture so that the whole picture displays inside the area. This will prevent the image from being too large with the bottom and right hand side of it getting cut off.
