That rewrite rule matches any request that does not match an existing file, and routes the request to to index.php using PATH_INFO

Translation of the above code is like that:

RewriteEngine On: Activate the RewriteEngine if not already activated
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f: If the requested file name is not a regular file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d: If the requested file name is not a regular directory
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt): If the request is not the index.php, the images or robots.txt file
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]: Send the request to index.php and stop ([L])

This looks as a part from WordPress. If the file doesn't exists (-f) and a directory also not exists (-d) and the request is not for index.php or images or robots.txt when call index.php with the path as a parameter.
