This should answer your questions. Since you're new, you might also want to read through the rest.

resources are basically part of code that can be running but must not necessarily. SA MP (as far as i know, it may have changed but i don't think so) only runs one big mess of code file at once, where everything that the server might want to do must be in.

You can compare the resource system to the pcs folder system, it sorts things for the user to have easy access and also just gives the possibility to add new folders next to, or in other folders. It's also good for the server, he knows that all the resources exist but he does not care (much) about what they're containing until someone tries to start them (and run the code inside)

A resource can be a gamemode, which mostly handles most of the abilities players have on a server

a map which offers unique gameplay on modes even after playing them 1 million times

or a script which adds features or possibilities, for example if someone gets shot in the head he dies instantly or if he presses button X something happens to him or someone else.

according to the official thread you need to start rcg manually by typing "/start rcg" in the chat while logged in as an admin or just "start rcg" in the mta server console

In case you don't know how to add yourself as an admin to your MTASA server, it's explained here:
