Hi, 
It is just to determine that your code is executing is called by Trigger or VF page. 
When decoupling the Apex trigger handler class from the actual trigger, the Apex class has no way to know what context it's called in (unit test, web service, visualforce page, trigger). This flag just means the handler was executed by a trigger.
  
public class contextDetermination
{
  public Boolean dummyMethod()
  {
     System.debug('  your current context is ' + Trigger.isExecuting);

  }
}

Thanks
