First things first.. What is a DSLR?
DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex camera.
Let us keep this short: An SLR uses a mechanism in which a single lens is used for viewing as well as taking pictures.
If you had used one of those old film point and shoot cameras from the yesteryears, you might recollect that you compose your picture through a viewing window but there was a possibility that what you see is not what uyo finally get on the film. This was because the picture gets taken through another lens and the angle is different to what u are seeing through the viewfinder.
In an SLR, the image is projected through the 'single' lens on to a mirror and then projected on to the viewfinder. When you are ready to click and press the shutter release button, the mirror flips out of the way and the image directly falls on the medium (either film or digital sensor) and gets captured. So essentially what you are seeing while composing the photo is what you would finally see in the captured photo as well.
