Material Instances in UE4 are extensions of your main, master material that allow to expand its functionality and flexibility of using that material. Let's say you wanted to make some changes to the material such as updating color, roughness or changing a diffuse texture. Instead of creating an entire separate material you would create a Material Instance and change the parameters within it to update those properties. With Material Instances, you do not have to recreate entire material from scratch. Just create a Material Instance.
