It basically stands for "yes", without it a prompt would appear before the download starts asking you if it is ok to install X and Y (maybe as dependencies) and occupy Z amounts of space. With the -y all answers default to yes and the installation procedes uninterrupted. I personally never use it because I want to know exactly what is being installed.
