A dependency is a file that something you are trying to install requires.
You can see what dependencies something requires at packages.ubuntu.com
For instance http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/firefox
You can see that firefox has dependencies, recommends and suggests.
Put simply you need dependencies, you can get away without recommends and suggests.
I use an xfce system - I used to install nautilus - to install that I did so without installing the recommends.
