A rel canonical tag is a special tag that is inserted into the header of your HTML that helps communicate to search engine bots the relationship of that piece of content to others on your site. Canonical tags tell the search engine bots which pieces of content are the original or primary ones and which are duplicates.

A canonical tag specifies the source URL (or original content page) of a given page to a search engine such as Google. Canonical tags are used to declare a single page as its own source or for duplicate pages to reference their source / originating page. Search Engines use the canonical tag to combat duplicate content issues and assign search engine ranking value for that content to the page designated as the “source” URL.

A canonical link element is an HTML element that helps webmasters prevent duplicate content issues by specifying the "canonical" or "preferred" version of a web page as part of search engine optimization.

"canonical url tag" to help webmasters and site owners eliminate self-created duplicate content in the index.

Canonical tags tell the search engines that all deviations from a specific url actually belong together, and should be considered as that base url.
In practice: yourdomain.com but you use variables to store data about your visitors:
yourdomain.com/index.php?previous=imag...
This url will be different lots of times, and without canonical url tags, Google would index them all seperatly. Now they will see them all as one url, the one that you put in the canonical url tag. More info? See the article below

canonical tag is used to indicate the preferred url for one page. You may use more than one URL for that page but there may be one version that you prefer to see in the search results.

An option for dealing with duplicate content is to utilize the rel=canonical tag. The rel=canonical tag passes the same amount of link juice (ranking power) as a 301 redirect, and often takes much less development time to implement. The tag is part of the HTML head of a web page.

What is Canonicalization?

Canonicalization can be a challenging concept to understand (and hard to pronounce: "ca-non-ick-cull-eye-zay-shun"), but it's essential to creating an optimized website. The fundamental problems that canonicalization can fix stem from multiple uses for a single piece of writing–a paragraph or, more often, an entire page of content–that appears in multiple locations on one website or on multiple websites. For search engines, this presents a conundrum: Which version of this content should they show to searchers? SEOs refer to this issue as duplicate content
