Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence which deals with providing systems the ability to learn and improve from data samples without explicit programming instructions.

Machine Learning is basically, to train machines (computers) by feeding them with huge amount of data. As a result they can predict/extract useful information based on previously available data. For example in order for a computer to recognize hand writing, we need to train that computer by feeding it with large amount of different handwriting samples.
