Headless CMS is just a CMS where you can plug a front-end to call APIs directly to display your content.

It is usually a separate component so it helps a lot in speed & performance. This makes it easier for different people like marketing to focus on using/editing the content in the CMS or you calling the API from your front-end without dealing with the backend. Since headless CMS offers great documentation in their API to make it easy to pull data from the CMS.
