A group of files compressed into one file using the "ZIP" algorithm is known as a zip file. This file can be read as a single file and is handy for sending or uploading said group of files as a single file. To unzip means the reversal of this process, the re-creation of individual, uncompressed, files and folders from a ZIP archive.
You usually unzip a zip file when you receive a compressed file so the files function as they would in their normal uncompressed format.
For example: You download a program you want to install, and the package is a zip file. You should firstly "unzip" or extract the files so you can run it properly.
Note that ZIP and UNZIP are often used synonymous to compressing and archiving (ZIP) and decompressing and unpackaging (or: extracting) (UNZIP). However, ZIP (UNZIP) refer to just one representative of a whole range of algorithms used for the same purpose (that of combining multiple files into a compressed archive, and reversing that effect).
