Auto-correct is an automatic tool on your iPhone that attempts to help you improve what you type. For instance, if you typed out "I om happy today", your phone would fix it to say "I am happy today". It does this by comparing your text to an enormous (and constantly evolving) digital dictionary. It's not always right, however.
