Best Answer

It is an algorithm used by another algorithm as part of the second algorithm's operation.

As an example, an algorithm for finding the median value in a list of numbers might include sorting the numbers as a sub-algorithm: There are plenty of algorithms for sorting, and the specifics of the sorting does not matter to the "median value" algorithm, only that the numbers are sorted when the sub-algorithm is done.

For what an algorithm is, see related link.
