It contains pre-compiled source code that applications (startx, in this case) can link with. It's similar to the concept of a .dll in dos/windows. In a standard debian installation, libXmu.so lives in /usr/X11R6/lib, so by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to that location, you're telling your apps to look in that location for shared objects.
