These components, when put together, create the images, sounds, and interactivity that the end user is presented with. In QuickTime, different types of data are stored in components that are called tracks.
Tracks are, essentially, a container for different pieces of media of the same type.

Each different type of track has a different purpose, and different types of media samples it can contain.
