What is “quiet splash” in the grub file for?

I've been here for a while, and sometimes I see people answering questions related to shutdown or restart problems with this : "delete "quiet splash" from the /etc/default/grub file".
My question is: what is "quiet splash" for?

grub2 shutdown

    The option quiet prevents Linux from giving shell output of your boot process, and the splash option show the boot screen. If you remove both you will get an output if you updated your grub afterwards with:

    sudo update-grub
