That means that we have access to its grips, just as if we had drawn this using the PLINE command. We can then reposition these vertices if we want or convert straight lines into arcs and so on. So I'll press escape to deselect. Let's try a rectangle again and this time we'll use a different option. Let's try Fillet, this option here. Some people say filet, I say fillet.
