according to wordpress.org,

Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual weblog posts, as well as categories and other lists of weblog postings. A permalink is what another weblogger will use to refer to your article (or section), or how you might send a link to your story in an e-mail message. Especially when they are used to link to individual postings, once a story is posted, the URL to it should be permanent, and never change. Hence the "perma" in the name.

They're generally used to make urls simpler to remember.
if mod_rewrite is available, you could set up an .htaccess file that looks like this:

CODE

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?id=$1&cat_id=$2 [L]
</IfModule>

This would make it so that the link site.com/index/11/223/ would actually be site.com/index.php?id=11&cat_id=223

EDIT:
here are a couple of resources you could look at for mod_rewrite:
