What does navigation pane mean?

Answer

A pane or panel is typically something that runs down the side of a window, typically the left side.

The "Navigation Pane" found in Windows Explorer displays a hierarchical tree view of the subfolders in the selected folder, if any, and the + and - buttons alongside the items in the tree can be clicked to show the contents of other folders.

Such a pane may be found in other applications, although I do not know of any that do so.
