A very basic explanation is that each flexfield is made up of a number of
generic varchar2 fields, termed segments, in a table. Additional data is
held in the flexfield definition tables that describes what each of the
segments represents and whether the value is really a date, char or number
as well as possible values etc. Oracle Applications then use the flexfield
definitions to interpret the various segments and display/use the content as
if they were bespoke additions to the tables.
