Arguments are what you give to functions. For example

void printFunction(String argument){
 System.out.println(argument);
}

This is a method which prints out the argument. To call it, another method would have the following code:

String data = "hello world";
printFunction(data);

Here you can see that the code passes in a string that contains "hello world", meaning that when the printFunction method is executed argument="hello world".

The talk of nested function calls isn't really important. it would just be, for example, printFunction having the following code:

void printFunction(String argument){
 
  printWord(argument);
}

In that case the printFunction function is called, and it in turn calls another function 'printWord' with its own argument. So it passes "hello world" onto printWord.
