As describe in the official website:The first line in the build configuration applies the Android plugin for Gradle to this build and makes the android block available to specify Android-specific build options.

Gradle is a general-purpose build system. It uses plugins to teach it how to build different types of software. com.android.application is a Gradle plugin that teaches Gradle how to build Android applications, just as com.android.library is a plugin that teaches Gradle how to build Android library projects. There are many plugins available for Gradle, to teach it how to build other sorts of systems or augment other plugins.
