Progressive and interlace? What are they all about?

I'd like to know why there's this option when encoding my video in Pinnacle Studio, there's a box to check whether I want progressive encoding or not. What does it do? I've also heard of interlace and as far as I know it means if the source video has horizontal lines then it's interlace and I need to deinterlace it.
