Shortening is a semisolid fat made from either vegetable fat or animal fat. It is made of 100$ fat rather than 80$ fat such as butter. It also has a higher smoking point than butter. It creates a more "crumbly" texture in baked goods.
A common brand of shortening is Crisco, which is made from a blend of cottonseed and soybean oils. It became popular due to fat that it was cheaper and because it isn't made from dairy, it has a long shelf life.

What is the difference in making a cake with 100 percent butter versus half shortening and half butter?
There would be a subtle difference in taste between the two cakes, as well as (perhaps) a bit of difference in the rise. The more important difference would be in nutrition.
