What does this code mean in slic3r?
M205 X10 Y10 Z0.4 E2.5 ; sets the jerk limits, mm/sec
What does this do? I saw it in slic3r, Prusa edition. I know it sets the jerk limits, in mm/sec, but what does that actually mean?

Jerk is the speed the printer can jump to without accelerating smoothly. If the move is under the jerk limits the printer will just jerk to the required speed using brute force instead of smoothly accelerating. Higher values can speedup prints but can also introduce artifacts (it can also make the motors skip if set too high).
If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a nonworking cat.
