\label{tab:classification}???Can't understand

Please help me to understand the commands: \begin{table}[], \label{tab:classification} and \vspace{-0.1in}.

The environment and the commands are basic components of latex. They should be explained in each introduction (e.g. lshort) and reference (e.g. LaTeX2e unofficial reference manual).
