LILO is a boot loader. That's the part of the system that manages the boot of the operating system(s). Although there are nowadays other versions, derived from LILO such as eLILO which is a boot loader for EFI based systems, we could say that the standard boot loader currently in most GNU/Linux distributions is GRUB.

An abbreviation they have made to identify different bootloader LInux LOader more or less like Grub but with Graphical User Interface (GUI)
LiLo is the LInux LOader... the program that loads at startup to know which operating system you want to load.
Only that's the old version of that function, it's been replaced by GRUB.

A2A: What is LILO in Linux?
LILO (LInux LOader) is a bootloader or bootloader used in the Linux operating system (or...GNU/Linux for the purists...). LILO is old technology, it was discontinued and therefore declared obsolete since 2015 and replaced by another bootloader: GRUB which is the most widely used bootloader today.
Yet, LILO is still present out there in the Linux world and, there is an improved version, called ELILO.

Lilo is a boot loader before GRUB (more popular). Lilo is quite long-lived and nowadays ELILO is often used instead.
It is a set of instructions that tells your machine the correct boot sequence, which services and modules to lift so you can get to login and then to the desktop (if there is one).
