The moon is seen during daytime for the same reason it is seen in the night - It reflects light from the sun.
Usually the moon is seen in the morning and at dusk, when the sunlight is not as bright as during midday.
The reason why many people are wondering about this is the biblical reference (Genesis 1); that the moon and stars are seen during the night While the sun during the day.
During solar eclipses, even the stars (esp. the brighter ones) are visible.
The moon orbits the earth, and it takes about 27.32 earth days to do it. So it makes sense that from time to time you will see it during the day. Notice that most of the time when you observe this the sun and moon are separated by quite an angle. The closer the moon gets to the sun the less of the sunlit surface of the moon there is to see. Also the brightness of the sun itself obscures the moon at the time of the new moon.
