This question is answered quite thoroughly in this thread:-

Link to "What-is-macosxfolder" discussion on superuser.com

To summarise, it is a folder that the Mac uses to hold meta data/resource fork information. It is hidden on the Mac but Windows displays it as a normal folder, much like the DS_Store files that can be left on Windows Network shares for Windows users to see if you browse the shares using a Mac.
