scripts are a way of causing dynamic behavior in objects in game, from simple movement, to complex, question/answer things. 2L would be a static world without scripts. I'd suggest you take a look at the LSL scripting wiki.

anything you interact with has a script. anything that does things by itself without any interaction from another person, also has a script in it. 99% of things that just sit there and do absolutely nothing.. such as a wall of a house, do not have scripts.

You could think of a script just like a movie or theatre script. It tells the object(s) what to do under certain circumstances, and even what to do when there is nothing interacting with it. The most basic script of all is the one that is created automatically when you hit "New Script" in the content tab of an object. It makes the object behave in a certain way. In this basic example, the object will say "Hello, Avatar!" once and then do nothing until the user clicks on it, at which point it will say "Touched!".

the LSL Wiki is quite technical and may be confusing at first.. but it needs to be technical so we can work out how to do some really crazy stuff. I hope this answers your question.
