Best Answer

A footnote is used by authors when writing books. The author will write something and will want to direct the reader to a notation where more information in other reference books can be found on the topic the author is writing about. So the author will usually place a tiny number on the page next to the subject they want to bring the reader's attention to. Then at the very bottom of the page the same tiny number will appear, and next to the tiny number will be the name of the reference material the author wants the reader to refer to if the reader wants more information on the topic footnoted. I hope that made sense ;)
