Protools is sequencing and recording software, mostly. It lets you record
multiple tracks of audio at once, play with them, resequence them, and so
on. It also has midi functionality, although it's only recently started to
actually *care* about midi sequencing as more than a "well, I suppose we
need it..." basis.
It also is host to some of the best (quality-wise) effects plugins on the
market.
It can also host softsynths and the like to some degree, but it doesn't
innately produce any sound. It just tells other things when to make sound
and controls audio playback for audio files.
It's generally only used in expensive studios that can afford it. For
budget bedroom producers (and smaller studios), there are a lot of other,
very valid options.
