A media segment is effectively just a truncated slice of the video, usually about 2 seconds in length. A single playlist contains as many segments as needed, in order, to traverse the entire stream. Each segment is generally a separate file on disk (and thus a separate URL on the CDN!) and usually exists in several different variants, covering things like bitrate, HDR/SDR, Dolby Atmos, and more. The client player is in control of which variant(s) it loads and plays for each segment and when.
