Reseller web hosting, as the name indicates its something like you resell the hosting space.
Resellers are the middle-man between the hosting company and customers. They take web space in bulk from the hosting company and sell it in chunks to customers.
These days hosting companies are providing reseller web hosting packages in which resellers get a WHM control panel through which they can automatically create hosting accounts for ther customers. The best thing is that the relationship of a reseller and hosting company remains hidden to the customer. He feels that reseller is the hosting company from which he is purchasing the web space and never comes to know about the master hosting company from whic reseller purchases the web hosting space.
WHM control panel is master control panel or reseller's control panel through which he can manage the account of his customers. He can add/delete accounts, allot pop mail accounts, databases, check bandwidth etc from WHM.
The customers of reseller get cPanel control panel from which they can manage the day to day activities of their hosting accounts like creating pop mail ids, databases, subdomains, forwarders etc.
