Managed metadata is a centralized hierarchical collection of data. Organize the data in an hierarchical manner at one point as Taxonomy. If you update the data in store, it will be applied to entire site collection wherever you are using the data. Its like a common meta data that can be used at different locations. If you want to attach this data to list or library, attach this with metadata column. If you do not manage the data at one point, different user use this meta data as different manners and there will not any control of the data. When you search the data, the same data will be presented different types and there will be confusion.
Create and Configure Managed Metadata service in Central Administration. You can define and structure the data using Term Store management tool in CA.
The main root element can be defined as Term Store.
Next level of Items can be treated as Term Groups
The Items which are placed under Term Groups are called Term Sets
Finally Term Sets has collection of Terms.
