    to make it simple,
    URL rewriting / mapping is making a dynamic URL with query strings to a static URL with a descriptive text - that makes better SEO and Searching on search engines.

    You can configure your application to show URL as http: //www.yoursite.com/apparels.html and internally mapped to http: //www.yoursite.com/myproductscategory.php?CategoryID=10&Categoryname=apparels. So when user types in http: //www.yoursite.com/apparels.html on browser the request posted to web application will be handled internal as if posted like http: //www.yoursite.com/myproductscategory.php?CategoryID=10&Categoryname=apparels. user would not know the request has been re-mapped.
