What does the "discrete" tag mean for the graphics card?

question

I just set up Bazzite on my PC after being stuck on Windows laptops for a couple years and I'm just looking over system details to try to make sure I didn't miss anything and have my OS set up correctly. I'm happy that it seems to be seeing the nvidia graphics card just fine, but I'm confused about the "discrete" tag. Does this mean it's not actually utilizing the card?

Thank you! pancakegoen
