What are Canonical Links? Please explain?

The reason I ask this question is because I have started cross posting my content from my mommy blog to Medium and the plugin that is used to do this by Medium ensures that the SEO is good by using canonical links.

I don't 100% understand how that all works?

The reason I want to know is that I am interested in cross posting some of the content from some of my other blogs to my mommy blog and then also have that cross posted to Medium.

If I add the original content's url into my SEO plugin as the canonical link would that be sufficient to ensure good seo? So the Medium blog would point to my mommy blog and in turn my mommy blog would point to my other blog...

Any thoughts on this please?

This is the first time that I’ve heard of canonical link. For a newcomer to SEO like me, it is easy to get confused with the new terms that I encounter and that is the reason why I try to extract the meaning that I can understand because sometimes the explanations are too technical that my simple mind couldn’t comprehend. It looks like the canonical URL is the same URL as the main?
