What is $_REQUEST[redirect_to] used for?

Hey! Quite often I stumble upon the following piece of code: $_REQUEST['redirect_to'].
The essence of the array itself is clear to me, but the 'redirect_to' variable is not. Please explain what this construct is used for and where this variable comes from.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
