In computing, a plug-in is simply a set of software components that adds a specific ability to a larger software application. So for example, Mozilla Firefox is the larger software application and a plug in could be Adobe Acrobat (which allows you to view and manipulate .PDF files).
Some common Plug-ins are:
Adobe Acrobat,
Adobe Flash Player,
Apple Quick Time,
Microsoft Silverlight,
Google Earth Plugin
etc.
