An argument, in a programming language, is much the same as in mathematics - a piece of data passed to a function which is used by that function (in expressions, etc) to do its calculations. Having the ability to 'customize' a function by passing in the argument lets one function instance be used by a number of different callers.
Macros also often support arguments.
