Think of an IOS as the "operating system" of your Wii, like Microsoft Windows is to a PC. Probably the most simplistic way to describe it.

A long while ago, there were some exploits in the IOS files, and these were used to run some Homebrew. However, Nintendo has patched a lot of these exploits, but, the cIOS came into effect, which, in short, is a "fake IOS" that mimics the glitched ones that were once patched.
