The video tutorial explains the use of args and quarks in Python functions. Args are used for variable-length arguments and are stored as tuples, making them immutable. Quarks, on the other hand, are keyword arguments stored as dictionaries, allowing for key-value pairs. The tutorial provides a practical example of a food ordering function to demonstrate how args and quarks can be used together in real-world applications.
