files have modification times. make looks at those and decides what has to be updated.

modification means the file was saved to disk (possibly changed) at that time.

mkae has some rules of thumb about how it decides to go about keeping things up-to-date. For example, since it knows that object.o requires three source files in order to compile, it checks the modifcation times of each source file. If any of the source files is newer than the object.o file, it rebuilds object.o

If any file uses object.o (now it is newer than it was a minute ago) those files are rebuilt as well.
