What does config shard mean here?

Question

I created a MongoDB sharded cluster with replica set rsa, rsb and rsc. Configuration server replica set is configRS. Initially shard status listed only these shards as primary shard for the sharded databases. But now I can see an other shard "config" listed. Where did this shard come from? What does it mean?
