A USB-C hub is a device used to expand the connectivity of a USB-C port on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. It acts as a kind of intermediary between your USB-C device and other devices you want to connect to it, such as a mouse, keyboard, or external hard drive.
A USB-C hub is handy when your laptop doesn't have enough ports or if it completely lacks certain ports.
Capabilities of USB-C hubs
A USB-C hub offers a variety of ports, such as USB-A, HDMI, ethernet, SD card slots, and more, allowing you to easily connect multiple devices at the same time.
For example, use one to connect an external display, download data from a USB stick, establish a wired internet connection, read data from an SD card, and charge your device at the same time. All this via a single USB-C port.
In short, a USB-C hub is a handy accessory that extends the functionality of your USB-C device by adding extra ports. It allows you to connect various peripherals and accessories simultaneously.

Difference between a USB-C hub and a docking station
A USB-C hub and a docking station are both devices that offer multiple ports and connectivity options. A USB-C hub is a compact, portable solution for expanding connectivity on devices like laptops, while a docking station is a more extensive and often stationary solution used for permanent setups with additional functionality and stability.
A USB-C hub draws power from the device it is connected to, while a docking station is plugged directly into the power outlet. This allows you to connect devices that require more power to a docking station.
