ISO is fundamentally the sensitivity at which your cameras sensor reacts to the light when you open the shutter.

ISO is the number indicating a digital camera sensors sensitivity to light, the higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to make an exposure. It is very helpful to be able to control ISO when taking pictures.
Also for the curious the term ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization.
