What does it mean to "cure" concrete?

HINT:
Conventional concrete must be properly cured for five to seven days.

Curing concrete is the term used for stopping freshly poured concrete from drying out too quickly. This is done because concrete, if left to dry out on it's own, will not develop the full bond between all of it's ingredients. It will be weaker and tend to crack more. The surface won't be as hard as it could be.
