Best Answer

A plug-in is a piece of software that interacts with another piece of software. For example, I have Firefox as my internet browser. I have a plug-in that makes Firefox give me information on the web page I am visiting. The plug-in only works with Firefox. Any given plug-in is directly associated with a specific piece of software and extends the functionality of the original software. Some software does not support plug-ins so there is either another route to take for enhancements or additional features or you are stuck with what you've got.
