It’s a way to ensure that a meeting doesn’t waste time considering a suggestion that only one person cares about. A motion is a formal suggestion made in a meeting. When someone says “I second the motion,” he is showing that at least one other person is interested in discussing it (a second person), and it can then be discussed; if no one seconds it, a motion is dropped.
