µTorrent is a small BitTorrent download client that allows you to download and share .torrent files on your computer.
µTorrent is a BitTorrent client. A 'client' in this case is a computer program that follows the rules of a protocol. For example, HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used to download web pages and other content - like this page - and your HTTP client (or browser) is the program you use to get those web pages.
Some popular browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari.
Just as there are multiple web browsers, there are multiple BitTorrent clients, and µTorrent is one such BT client.
