Ruby’s model for concurrency is based on threads. It was typical approach for object oriented languages, designed in the 90s. A thread is sequence of instructions that can be scheduled and executed in the context of a process. Several threads can be running at the same time.

Ruby’s VM process allocates a memory heap, which is shared and writable by threads. If incorrectly coordinated, those threads can lead to unexpected behaviors.
