CSG means Constructive Solid Geomerty
Read the povray-manual for more information.

Section 7.5.5.1
About CSG
Constructive Solid Geometry is a technique for combining two or more objects
to create a new object using the three boolean set operators union,
intersection, and negation. It only works with solid objects, i. e. objects
that have a well-defined interior. This is the case for all objects described
in the sections "Finite Solid Primitives" and "Infinite Solid Primitives".
CSG shapes may be used anywhere a standard shape can be used, even inside
other CSG shapes. They can be translated, rotated or scaled in the same way
as any other shape. The shapes making up the CSG shape may be individually
translated, rotated and scaled as well.
See also all chapter 7.5.5 of the povray documentation.

To illustrate it even more graphically:
You can use a thin cylinder to "punch" a hole through a sphere (like it was hit
by a bullet). This would be an intersection of a sphere and a cylinder - both are
solids.

if you are familiar with other 3d programs it would be called grouping
and will have the same properties that the other programs have.
they can remove mold and add to an object to increase its valor
