Quoting from the home page:

Quote
hicolor-icon-theme is the default icon theme that all icon themes automatically inherit from. Its role in icon themes is described in the specification. This page hosts the definition of this theme (note: it doesn't contains any icons).

It's part of the freedesktop.org icon standard.

Just to add, it is only a place holder, basically a directory structure and really small.
