javac is an executable command which comes as part of the jdk package.

You will be executing javac command from your command prompt which is part of Windows. Windows doesn't have any idea as where to find the javac.exe or simply javac executable from. By setting the path or environment variable you are telling windows the location of javac.exe it can access to execute it.

Hope this helped...

Cheers...
