It means that it is used to allow the Mac to fully support files systems other than Mac OS or FAT, for example NTFS. As I recall Parallels Desktop and other Windows emulator apps install MacFuse or OSXFUSE to allow OS X to read AND write to NTFS formatted disks.

It even occurs to me it might be used on the Recovery Drive(?)

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
