The terms Header and Footer typically come from word processing programs — these denote repeated elements that show at the top and bottom of every page. Headers and Footers work similarly on PowerPoint slides — the Footer is a line of text that usually appears at the bottom of a slide. By default, the footer appears on every slide in a presentation — but you can change that as required. You can also move the content within the Footer area to the top of your slide — by doing so, you change a Footer to a Header!
