Well, if it is in relation to a parabola it is a point inside the parabola with special properties.

For instance, torches headlights and radar dishes are parabolic in shape.

the bulb of a torch is placed at the focus.  Any light that hits the sides of the torch will be reflected straight ahead to give a strong beam.

I hope that helps .  :))
