The seam is simply the name of the line that is created when two pieces of fabric are joined together. If you are sewing any two pieces together, the place where they are joined is called the seam.
Maybe you are wondering about the seam allowance, which is the amount of fabric alloted to sewing the pieces together. The seam allowance is the distance from the edge you put your line of sewing. In many fabrics that allowance can be very small, but some fabrics require a larger allowance to minimize fraying.
