Thatch is a layer of debris, made up mostly of grass clippings, that accumulates above the soil and below the blades of grass. This isn't just a layer of freshly cut grass clippings. To see it clearly, simply dig out a scoop of your lawn (don't worry, you can put it right back when you're done) and look at it from the side. You should be able to identify the soil, the thatch and the top growth of the lawn grasses.

The thatch layer will look like a tightly knit layer of brown debris. While thatch is primarily composed of cut grass blades, it also contains the bits and pieces of leaves and twigs that have fallen onto the lawn. In a healthy lawn, the thatch layer will decay naturally, providing nutrients for the lawn.

A healthy lawn will have a layer of thatch about a half inch thick. Having no thatch layer isn't the goal either, because that can open the lawn to drought and heat stress. Thatch not only provides nutrients, it also helps shade and protect the crowns of the grass plants and helps conserve moisture. Lawns with a healthy layer of thatch do not need dethatching.
