It means that the interest is paid out every three months (quarter year). That means that the interest paid out after 3 months is earning interest for the remaining nine months. The quarterly interest rate is such that this compounding is taken into account for the "headline" annual rate. As a result, if the quarterly interest is taken out, then the total interest earned in a year will be slightly less than the quoted annual rate.

What is better to have your interest compounded annually quarterly or daily?

Compounding interest more frequently results in a higher effective return on your investment. Therefore, daily compounding is better than quarterly or annually, as it allows interest to be calculated and added to the principal more often, leading to increased growth over time. The more frequently interest is compounded, the more interest will be earned on interest, maximizing your overall returns.
