What does deployment target mean?

If you are new to Xcode, I suggest accepting the default, and thinking of it as a constraint on your project.

As newer of Xcode versions come along, support for older target values will be removed. Companies that have extensive customer bases have to deal with this problem in their own way.

In most projects I have worked on, the iOS version matters because it dictates which devices can run your application.

For example, iOS 10 essentially left behind all iPod-style connectors.
