Cron is basically a way a program (like Drupal) can carry out repetitive tasks without you having to press the button all the time. As regards a drupal user, the most immediate role it plays is in the search - it periodically checks and sees have you added any new content, and then includes it in the search. Many contributed modules also use cron (eg linkchecker uses it to check for broken links)
