Each 'frame has a different amount of base armour. The amount of armour your 'frame has determines how much damage you will take [higher armour = less damage]. This reduction only affects health, your shields will always take full damage.

Check the Warframe Wikia to see how much armour your 'frame starts with.

Nothing, really. Your base armor value is incredibly small, and adding a percentage to that doesn't do much. Plus, armor only works on health, does absolutely nothing to shields. Waste of a mod slot.

Every warframe has a, currently hidden, armor stat that determines how much damage you take. Some warframes have a really low base armor (Ember, Volt), while others (Frost, Rhino) have very high armor. So, if you play a heavy armor warframe that 10% will be much more noticable.

Unfortunately, the base armor was visible in update 6 and prior updates, but for now it is still not displayed anywhere. Hope this helps!

It's supossed to help you take less damage upon losing all your sheilds in a mob fight. But really thats only true when going against the corpus as they tend to not have 100% accuracy compared to the greenier and infested. Just a little extra security to help you have a hair more chance to escape and survive with your health. So say its kinda like a health amp, which means "doesn't increase health pools" but it makes your health points harder to take down. Hope this helps and makes it not too confusing to you :)
