An unfinished hardwood floor is simply a raw material.  The wood has been made into the planks of flooring but it has not gone through the finishing process of having a stain or protective layer of oil or lacquer.  All hardwood flooring must be finished to prevent damage occurring from daily wear and tear, so your unfinished floor must have protective layers added once it has been installed.
