From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The command modifies the firewall to allow all incoming traffic on the docker0 network interface (which is created by Docker). It's basically a bypass.
You can configure Docker to not try and manage it's own rules, here is some discussion on the topic: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/22054#issuecomment-2241481323
Do not disable that docker feature unless you know what you're doing!
99% of users want it on. If you have an active firewall you want it to be restrictive, and you want Docker to open ports only as needed, and to keep track of container networks for you and to take down the permissions when you stop a container etc.
What clueless people do is disable this feature and then they make permanent rules that keep the ports open all the time, and/or attempt to keep track of rules by hand. The former is insecure, the latter is a hassle.
