Intro: A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_repository repository] (or "repo") is basically a storage location, usually a server on the internet, that you can install software from.  Manjaro users will, by default, be using the official Manjaro repository.  Other software is available in the Arch User Repository (AUR), but be sure read the disclaimer at the AUR page.
