When sending information over a local area network, to a specific computer, the MAC address of the destination must be known. ARP - the address resolution protocol - takes care of that. With it, you can ask for the MAC address that corresponds to a specific IP address.

What is arp operation?
ARP is used to find a MAC (layer-2) address, if you know the IP (layer-3) address.First, a device will search its ARP cache, to see whether it already happens to have the required address. If it doesn't find the address, it will send an ARP request as a broadcast, which basically asks "Who has such-and-such an IP address?" The machine that has the requested IP address will send an ARP reply.
