A domain is nothing but the area where the business analyst works in the industry.
Naturally, if you are working in some industry, it is important to have the knowledge of business processes related to that industry.
Suppose a person is working in the IT industry, then he must possess the knowledge of the project development life cycle, different models of software life cycles, requirement gathering, planning, resource allocation, tools to be used, coding, testing, UAT (user acceptance testing), and finally successful delivery of the project.
Until and unless a person is not aware of these steps he may not able to gain the expertise in his area. The roles and responsibilities of the business analyst may vary from domain to domain. There are several domains where the business analyst can work.
