Modern electronic devices contain "firmware", which is a set of instructions and programs that tell the device how to behave. Device manufacturers often release updated firmware versions which fix bugs and sometimes add new features. These updates are free, and can usually be downloaded onto the device from the internet.
It's a good idea to regularly update the firmware on your phone, because the updates will fix problems, make the phone run more smoothly, and sometimes add new or updated functions.
