Take a look at the Report Studio User Guide, chapter 12 - Laying out a report, and see the section "Create and Modify Report and Object Styles" on page 350

Basically, if you have more than multiple sections in the report page which you would want to style based to particular background, font, border.
You can create a one class for the same, so that in case there is some modification/update required you just have to change it only at one place.

In addition to what has already been said... If you are familiar with CSS, Report Studio classes work the same way.
