Like any file type extension, the '.min' addon extension refers to the short version of that file. The minified version of the files that did not have space and indentation, i.e. They are not in human-readable form to be read and edited. But it is easier for the machine to read that code. And minified version of the file takes less file space so through this the file size will be reduced, and this helps the server to load the website faster from the server.
