In order to understand field ref i think you should understand record ref as well

docs.microsoft.com/.../recordref-data-type

docs.microsoft.com/.../fieldref-data-type

Record ref can reference any table in your database with out you having to know exactly what table you will work with when you declare the variable.

So a field ref is basically a data type in AL that can reference any field in any given table in the database.
