IE9 css3 rendering

Hi, I recently started to develop a website that uses several basic css3 features, which I am sure are supported in IE9 because I checked. No matter what I did, IE9 did not seem to display any css3 properties even when I used the ms prefix.

After I did some re-research, I found here a stackoverflow question that addressed a similar problem for mine, and someone suggested a solution to this problem. The person said to add this line to the title tag:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" /> 

After I added this, everything seemed to work. What I would like to explain why I should use this for the css3 functions to work in IE9 and what does it mean?

I'm still new to web development and I tried to learn html / css / javasript / php / mysql after about 6 months. While I am now able to create functional websites, there seem to be spaces in my head, so I hope this is not a very easy question.
