See http://docs.ansible.com/intro_configuration.html#action-plugins
In essence, action plugins provide services to modules and are used for various things including the abilty to let different modules share logic. Modules provide a mechanism with a defined interface. For example the ability to copy files to a remote machine is a useful capability for lots of modules (template, unarchive), so the action plugins let other modules use the logic in the copy module.
