A stub network is one that only features a single point of entrance and exit
into this area of your overall network. For a picture of one - visit:

You usually want to treat these stub networks in a special manner - for
example - a default route can be used to get out of the stub network - there
is no need for full routing tables in the stub network.

OSPF and EIGRP have sophisticated ways of dealing with these stub networks
built in! For example - in OSPF you can use the STUB AREA features to
automatically handle the needs of stub networks.
