In computing, a plug-in is simply a set of software components that adds a specific ability to a larger software application. So for example, Mozilla Firefox is the larger software application and a plug in could be Adobe Acrobat (which allows you to view and manipulate .PDF files).

Some common Plug-ins are:

Adobe Acrobat,

Adobe Flash Player,

Apple Quick Time,

Microsoft Silverlight,

Google Earth Plugin

etc.
