They identify each row in the spreadsheet. The rows are numbered. Along with the column headings they can give you cell addresses, by using the column heading and row heading of a cell. Cell H34 is in column H and in row 34.
Row and column headings help identify a specific cell (intersection of column and row). Each cell has a unique address. For example, cell H12 is located in both column H (vertical part) and row 12 (horizontal part).

Data can be transposed in Excel, so that the data that was in a row will go into a column and data that was in a column will go into a row. There is a TRANSPOSE function or you can copy your data and then use Paste Special and pick the Transpose option.
column headings
The row and column headings will be on the pages that you print.
In the top row or the first row.
header row
The top row of the sheet is row 1 and the first column is column A. Where you see the actual row numbers, above row 1, and the column headings, to the left of column A are not cells, so they do not have cell references. So if that is what you are referring to then there is no reference for them.For your data itself you can type in headings into cells like "Sales" or "Wages" or whatever, but those headings are in actual cells. So the references of those are wherever they are actually typed.The top row of the sheet is row 1 and the first column is column A.

column headings
to get column number, we can use =COLUMN(Reference) to get Row number, we can use =ROW(Reference) For example =COLUMN(A1) will return 1 and =ROW(A3) will return 3
There is no particular answer to that. You can do what you want with them. Often though, the first column and first row are kept for headings, so the second column and second row contain the first values on the spreadsheet.
You use the Freeze Panes option to do it. Put the cursor on row below the column headings you want and/or in the column to the right of the of the row headings you want. Then you can apply it. It is usually on the Window menu.
