CustomFieldSection is an entity that serves as a container for employee custom fields, enabling the grouping of those fields. Also in this way, employee custom fields cannot exist without belonging to a section.
Each employee custom field belongs to a specific section and has section_id set, while one section contains several possible employee custom fields.
For more details on how to work with custom fields please refer to Working with custom fields guide.
