Hi rakesh,

The Workflow Context maintains the state of the overall process in the Workflow Context record. The Workflow Context maintains the state of the individual activities as they execute in a series of related lists.

Refer to the following documentation:

Administering workflow contexts

Hello,

Every request can have a workflow associated with it which determines its fulfillment process. Whenever you create a new request, its workflow gets triggered and an active workflow context it created for the request workflow. The context maintains all details about the workflow activities, which all activities are completed, what is the current state, what all are remaining etc and also any errors/logs associated with the workflow.

Thanks!

Workflow context means the workflow instance that has been attached to your particular record 

You have a catalog item and its been submitted twice and a workflow has been attached to catalog item

so for each submission an instance of workflow will be attached to the requested item and that exactly is workflow context.
