GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. A GFCI receptacle is different from conventional receptacles.
In the event of a ground fault or an unintended electrical path to ground such as a shot circuit or through a person, a GFCI will trip within a fraction of a second and stop the flow of electricity to prevent serious injury.
