From Wiki.GIS.com

In geodatabases, the arrangement that constrains how point, line, and polygon features share geometry. For example, street centerlines and census blocks share geometry, and adjacent soil polygons share geometry. Topology defines and enforces data integrity rules (for example, there should be no gaps between polygons). It supports topological relationship queries and navigation (for example, navigating feature adjacency or connectivity), supports sophisticated editing tools, and allows feature construction from unstructured geometry (for example, constructing polygons from lines).  Referenced by: Feature dataset;  Feature class;  NetEngine;  Glossary of topology;  Algebraic topology;  Higher-dimensional algebra;  Fréchet distance;  Interval (mathematics);  Equidimensionality;  Separation axiom;  Kuratowski's closure-complement problem;  Homeomorphism group.
