Comments are user-created responses to other users' content. In Steem, it is used as one of the possible content types, which includes posts.

As explained on Steemit FAQ, comments that are upvoted can earn rewards just like posts.<ref>Can I earn digital tokens for commenting?

Purpose

Comments are often created to express opinions or reactions to other users' content, such as posts or other comments. Comments can enrich the value of their parent content via follow-up questions or adding insights to facilitate further discussion. At times, discussions within the comments section can even prove to be more valuable than their parent content.

Mechanics

To create a comment, the user must click on the Reply button, add content, and click Post.

To edit a comment, the user must click on the Edit button, perform the desired modifications, and click Update Post. Note that this only works on comments created by the user, not by other users.

To flag inappropriate comments, the user must click on the flag icon, then click Ok. As of this writing, flagging is the equivalent of downvoting, and will reset curation rewards for the content in question.
