What does daisy chain mean PSU?

A daisy chain is a supply with one main power module and a string of plugs all in a line off of that one unit. Each of the plugs on the daisy chain is internally connected to all the others, the wires go straight from one plug to the next, so current and ground are shared freely between the plugs.

Are daisy chains bad for pedals?
