It is a backup copy of essential operating system files, so that you can restore your system in case you make a change that impacts your system.

From what I've read they are a sort of backup of important Windows items, so that you can restore the system in case of problems when you shut down, reboot or do a bad automatic shutdown.

Well, it's like travelling back in time on your computer, and it's like that, literally. Windows has a function where you can choose a date in the past and it updates your computer to that date, and you will see what you had on that date, even if you deleted files. It's something very special that always caught my attention, but you will lose the data that you put after that date in the past

When you restore or reset your computer, there are some random dates that Windows proposes to you so that your computer, when you finish the operation, is organised as you had it on that date. What I don't know is if the dates are random or if there is a reason for them.

These are point-in-time copies of the system. Restore points are usually set by the system following configurable criteria. Typically a restore point is created after a new device driver is installed or a significant change is made to the hardware configuration. This allows the system to be restored to a point before the last such changes were made.

Technically the restore points are backups of the Windows registry, (the Windows registry consists of the parameters and settings of the programs installed for optimal functionality).
Thanks to these restore points we can restore the system if we get to have a virus or damage by a program installed wrong, and thus leave the computer functional as at the time of creating such a restore point.
These restore points can be automatic through the system or manually at the time we want to create it from the Advanced System Settings, system protection, and restore point creation.

I think this has already been answered sufficiently, but at the request, it occurs to me to say that it is like the typical Ctrl+Z, but at the fattest level (the Operating System itself).

They are how you save (from previous) moments to recover your settings in case Windows crashes
