It is not a real "file" system, but provides a file-like view of the information in the kernel. This includes information on processes but also information on what buses your PC has and what drivers your kernel is using. Personally speaking, I use it only for setting permissions on USB devices, and for testing whether a specific process is running from inside a shell script. That's about all.
