Generally it is a seat post that can drop and rise back to its original position with the activation of a lever on the handle bars. It's purpose is to allow the rider to lower their seat height to better meet conditions met on the trail. Technical downhill sections can be made easier by lowering your seat height.
Wheeling also benefits from lower seat height.
