Basically its a sub-component of your model.
They usually, but don't always, contain a separate 3D mesh that can be individually transformed, textured and shaded. Limbs also connect to each other in a hierarchy so that moving one will automatically affect its children too. When exporting animations there will usually be limbs that correspond to the joints in the animation program - these may have 3D meshes themselves but there can also exist those which do not.

When you load your model, let say a soldat, unless it is a single mesh, that is static and useless, your soldat has a head, arms and legs ...those are limbs
