This extract from the Linux man page explains it:
The bind mounts.
Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to remount part of the file
hierarchy somewhere else. The call is
mount --bind olddir newdir
or shortoption
mount -B olddir newdir
or fstab entry is:
/olddir /newdir none bind
After this call the same contents is accessible in two places.
