In a butshell a repository is a website where the different apps and tweaks are stored. When you add a repository to cydia you are giving it permission to access those apps and download them. There are somewhere around 5 that are pre installed when you jailbreak and these are the only ones that have truely been vouched for and tested for security. It is possible to add a repository with harmful content in it so make sure you are comfortable with anything you add. i hope this helps make sense of it. have a good day!
