cell is a dictionary. A dictionary is an unordered set of key: value pairs. The element cell["CHILDREN"] is retrieved and stored in the variable children. More on dictionaries here:

That line refers to dictionaries, also known as associative arrays. The line of code in question assigns the value in the dictionary that associates to the key CHILDREN to the variable children.
