MoI is designed to try and minimize the need to understand every single technical detail of NURBS modeling.
"Knots" are one of the pieces of information that make up NURBS curves and surfaces - every surface is made up of a set of points, weights, a degree value, and a knot vector, not just only a set of points alone.
The knot vector tends to be one of the more difficult pieces to describe very well - it's related to the number of "spans" of the curve or surface. Each span is sort of like an internal segment of the curve and the knots are where the spans touch each other.
