What does Route::model mean in Laravel?

Can any one explain these lines ? How it works?

public function boot()
{
     parent::boot();

     Route::model('user', App\User::class);
}

Next, define a route that contains a {user} parameter:

$router->get('profile/{user}', function(App\User $user) {
  //
});
