It's just an alternate method to render the content.

It might be used to execute the different component scripts or some servlet would be using it.

Will recommend you to see basics of sling request processing, something I think every dev should be aware of - > The Basics

Thanks

Selectors can be used to display the same content in an alternative format.

Please have a look at this community article:- http://www.aemcq5tutorials.com/tutorials/sling-resource-resolution-aem/ and http://blogs.adobe.com/contentmanagement/tag/selectors/

Refer to this old forum post:- Sling Resource Resolution Preference

//if the user request a content as --> <path>.<selector...>.<extension>

Then for the request resolution files ending with <selector>.<extension>.<script extension> takes priority
