What is a bootable USB drive and how do I create one safely?

I keep seeing the term bootable USB drive when looking up Windows installation and recovery guides. Can someone explain what a bootable USB drive is, when it's actually needed, and the easiest way to create one? Are there any recommended tools or common mistakes I should avoid?

A bootable USB drive starts a computer without the installed operating system. Create one safely using trusted tools, a reliable USB drive, and a verified operating system image.
