Keytool is a java tool to sign your application.
Read this: Sign your app  |  Android Studio  |  Android Developers
Than watch this: Using keytool to make a release key for android. - YouTube

The keytool allows you to sign the application so you can upload it to Google Play. Basically it’s security.
