What is pip in Python? [duplicate]

I have installed Python 3.4.1 in windows desktop, but i don't have pip. I am trying to install a module from https://www.reportlab.com/reportlabplus/installation/ it shows pip install rlextra -i https://www.reportlab.com/pypi/. And then if I execute the reported command, it shows the following

C:\Python34>pip install rlextra -i https://www.reportlab.com/pypi/ 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 

Edit: This question is not about how to install pip, instead why you need pip ?
