It is just plain text that you write in an org mode file. It may have two different functions:

1.- If you write it at the beginning of the file, it serves as a metadata descriptor or to include options for the file [1]. For example:

#+TITLE: This is the title of this file
#+AUTHOR: Loretta
#+DATE: 2022-10-15
#+STARTUP: content <--- option for displaying the contents
#+OPTIONS: H:3 toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t <--- different export options

2.- To create a block inside the file. This block may be code meant to be executed [2], a quotation, a comment, etc:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(+ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
#+end_src

#+begin_comment
Check the following paragraph. I am not really sure if it
has taken into account all the variables.
#+end_comment
