I am just not getting a feel about the meaning of Role in Windows Azure.
There are two roles - Web Role (that has IIS Enabled) and Worker Role (Without IIS).
What does Role mean?

Per Mark Russinovich, Roles are like DLLs in the service process.
You can watch Mark Russinovich -Introduction to Windows Azure: the cloud operating system. The video is quite old; I watched it a few years back.
