a cron job is simply a way to schedule an event on the server. You can for example have a script that runs nightly to check for customers birthdays and send them an email to wish them happy birthday.

"Scheduled Tasks" in windows = "Cron" in unix/linux
It's a way to run a particular program ad pre-scheduled recurring intervals.
