A module is a part of a project that you can compile, run, test and debug independently. It is a way to reduce complexity of large projects while maintaining a common (project) configuration. They are reusable: if necessary, a module can be included in more than one project.

If you change your project name to something completely different, you might want to rename your modules as well. It just renames the module.
