CONTENT TYPE IN SHAREPOINT 2010 : 

  •  Content types are reusable component, they are not specific to any list or library or page layout.
  • A Content type is a group of site columns (or metadata), workflows and other settings for the item in the list or document in document library or for SharePoint page.
  • Content Type represents group of information with common properties. For example, you are maintaining group of Resume type documents and other normal documents.So you can have a separate Content Type for that Resume type documents.And separate content type for other documents. 

In simple words : 
  •                    To know  extra information of  Type of the content which we upload. it is not same as file type.Its a kind of meta data. Like attaching labels to the files.
