Command Prompt, What is this?

Command Prompt is a command line interpreter application available in most Windows operating systems . Command Prompt is officially called Windows Command Processor but is also sometimes called the command shell or by its file name cmd.exe . CMD is a native Windows application usually running in Win32 console. 

Note:- Command Prompt is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "the DOS prompt" or as MS-DOS itself. Command Prompt is a Windows program that emulates many of the command line abilities available in MS-DOS but it is not actually MS-DOS.

Now, you would have a question, when we have GUI options available in Windows then why to use Command prompt?
Command Prompt is used to execute
entered commands. Command Prompt is most commonly used to execute batch files, perform advanced administrative functions, and troubleshoot and solve certain kinds of Windows issues.
