Citing from your own link:

WebKit is an open source web browser engine. [...] QtWebKit is a project aiming at porting this fabulous engine back to Qt. The Qt port of WebKit currently compiles and runs on Linux (including Maemo and Meego), Windows, Mac OS X and Symbian."

So it's webkit ported to Qt. What Qt is, is described e.g. here.

A simple search also reveals the Qt Webkit documentation.

Citing the site you mentioned:

WebKit is an open source web browser engine. (...) QtWebKit is a project aiming at porting this fabulous engine back to Qt.

WebKit being an engine focused on implementing web browser's specific tasks (interpreting a web page's source (HTML, CSS), executing Java Script, creating visual representation and others) makes use of some basic services needed to accomplish these tasks. The examples of such services would be displaying an image on the screen or downloading a file over a network. These services must be provided for it to work. In case of Qt port these services are provided by Qt, which is a cross platform C++ framework for creating applications. You can find more information on Qt here.
