Can anyone expand on this support article for me please?

I assume the data protection feature is something more than just preventing casual access to the device through a password. However, the support article does not explain it (to me at least) in sufficient detail.
I feel these sentences need more explanation:
"Data protection enhances the built-in hardware encryption by protecting the hardware encryption keys with your passcode. This provides an additional layer of protection for your email messages attachments, and third-party applications."
