What is stack unwinding operation in exception handling?

When we enclose a block of code with a try statement compiler creates a step to store current context of the CPU in current stack frame with program counter pointed to start of catch block. If the CPU encounters any error it retrieves the context from stack an program counter jumps to catch statement. This mechanism is called unwinding operation during occurrence of any exception.
