Its a way of running methods at the same time that other methods are
running. Normally in a single threaded application only 1 method at a time
runs, sequentially usually - so that the code executes from main, through
your code, calling methods one after the other in a top to bottom type of
approach.
Multithreaded applications provide the ability to allow numerous activities
to happen at more or less the same time, so for example the same method or
class can be invoked and can be executing many times in many threads at the
same time and not usually impact the work each is doing.
Best way to understand them is to create a small example for yourself,
theres stacks on the web.

I see all kinds of threading but there is nothing explaining thread.
