PHPMyAdmin is a web interface to your MySQL databases, which Joomla utilizes. PHPMyAdmin comes installed within your CPanel.
This is a very powerful tool and if items are randomly deleted or changed at the table level could cripple your website.
The PHPmyAdmin allows you to login to an administration section and manage your databases, browse their data, run SQL commands, and backup the structure and data stored in your MySQL databases.
Because of its power (including the ability to drop SQL tables and delete databases), You need to be very careful accessing this area of your website, until you are comfortable with tables.
If you are new to SQL and PHP, I recommend you have a test site which mirrors your production site in order to practice changes and then add them to production.
