I found a good explanation on google:

Search Engine-Friendly URLs

This feature allows your site to display URLs that are easier for search engines to index. Normally, the URLs of a site look something like this:

http://www.yoursite.com/link.php?id=refcode

With the URL rewriting feature enabled, URLs will instead look like this:

http://www.yoursite.com/refcode/

This fools search engines into thinking that they are accessing a directory index rather than dynamic content, which greatly increasing the chance that your site will be thoroughly indexed.
