What is a mudroom?

Dura Supreme Cabinetry says "The entry or mudroom is an important staging and storage area that can help a busy family stay organized and on time." (read 2026-11-05). EPA 402K21001 recommends shoe removal or entrance mats; include that entry function when describing the storage project.
