It's a physical memory location in the CPU that allows quick data manipulation - it's like a post-it note to your desktop - meant for small bits of data manipulation very quickly, not heavy long amounts of data like a physical ledger's spreadsheet. In general, the more registers there are in a CPU, the faster it can handle data; external data pulls are not required for simple procedures.
