Immunize a USB drive: what does it mean?

Sorry for this very basic question: if I immunize my USB drive, what happens?

Immunizing a drive disables the autoplay feature for any USB/flash drive inserted into the system. This helps prevent the spread of malware and infections that can be hidden within files on these drives. By disabling autoplay, the user is required to manually open files, reducing the risk of accidental execution of malicious code.
