Sweating is when liquid comes to the surface of your skin via sweat glands. You see this happening a lot in hot, stressful situations, or with anxious, nervous people.

The purpose of sweating is to keep our bodies cool. Believe it or not, sweating is a matter of life and death. If somebody doesn't sweat enough, they're said to have 'Anhydrosis,' which is a life-threatening condition.

When somebody sweats too much, they're said to have 'Hyperhidrosis,' which isn't actually life-threatening but it's very annoying and can wreak havoc on one's social life.

AnswerIts your bodys way of cooling down. Like when you spash water on your face and your hot. Same thing. Only your bodys doing it.

Through sweating, our body releases moisture onto our skins and in the process, heat is taken away from our body.

For another answer in cooking to cook foods over gentle heat usually covered or partly covered until they release their moisture. Sweating is the opposite of sauteing.
