At project > settings > versions you can create versions and apply Build and Release on a version. I totally understand what Release means here (it applies a release date and sets the state to released), but what does Build mean here?

Releases represent points in time for your project. They can be used to schedule how features are rolled out to your customers, or as a way to organize work that has been completed for the project. In Jira Software, each release is called a version.
Jira has both Fix versions and Affects versions fields. So what's the difference? Fix versions shows the version that the work on the issue is released in. If you fix a bug in and the fix is released in version 3.6.
Issues will disappear from the board once all their fix versions have been released.
Builds are an important part of the development process, helping to ensure a stable final product. In Jira Align, builds are specified for several work items and processes in the QA cycle, for example: Identifying a build where a defect was found.
This is an excerpt from official JIRA documentation:
Build the release. The next step is to build the release. A release is essentially a snapshot of the artifact(s) and related metadata that will be deployed. A release is created from a single build. If you have connected JIRA Software to Bamboo, you can automatically run a Bamboo build when you release a version. Otherwise, if you haven't connected JIRA Software to Bamboo, or you are using a different build tool, you will need to run your builds independently.
So, primary purpose of the build option is to automatically run Bamboo build if Bamboo and JIRA are connected.
