A file with the . SO file extension is a Shared Library file. They contain information that can be used by one or more programs to offload resources so that the application(s) calling the SO file doesn't have to actually provide the file.
Files with the “. so” extension are dynamically linked shared object libraries. These are often referred to more simply as shared objects, shared libraries, or shared object libraries. Shared object libraries are dynamically loaded at run time.
An . so file is a binary file used as a native library on Android. Normally it's a part of an Android application. If you want to see its content, you need to open it as a binary file in a binary (hex) viewer.
In Android, we are able to use Native code (C++).
The Android NDK (Native Development Kit) compiles this code into .so files.
One of the examples of .so files are:
Application Binary Interface (ABI): The ABI defines exactly how your app's machine code is expected to interact with the system at runtime. The NDK builds .so files against these definitions. Different ABIs correspond to different architectures: The NDK includes ABI support for ARMEABI (default), MIPS, and x86. For more information, see ABI Management.
Android's developer site outlines this perfectly: Android Concepts (NDK)
