The page head is the top part of an HTML document that contains metadata.  Metadata is data on data, so in this case, it is information about your web page.  This information is used by web browsers and search engines.

Inside the page head, you put information such as the page title, links to other documents, and page description.  The page head also contains metadata that describes how the page will be displayed.
