127.0.0.1 is the loopback Internet Protocol (IP), the address is used to establish an IP connection to the same computer being used by the end-user.

The some reason that a person will command a ping 127.0.0.1 in a command prompt is because they will check if the NIC and drivers implementation is functional and it used in testing the TCP/IP.
