usually, it's used to sent some item for example : id user that you get from database.
But in your question this input used to determine in which section your entries will be saved. for toggle status I can't say for sure, I cannot find much documentation for this toggle.

<pre><code>&lt;form method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8"&gt;
{{ csrfInput() }}
{{ actionInput('entries/save-entry') }}
{{ redirectInput('viewentry/{slug}') }}
{{ hiddenInput('sectionId', '2') }}
{{ hiddenInput('enabled', '1') }}
</code></pre>
