Burrow
From The StarCraft 2 Wiki
Burrowing is an active unit ability that some Zerg units possess or can be upgraded to possess. It is an ability that works very much like cloaking, with the exception that most units cannot move while burrowed. It is still highly useful to be able to hide an entire army on your enemy's doorstep, and attack when the defence force is out.

Starcraft II
Burrowing is more flexible in StarCraft II. Ultralisks have now learned to burrow, and some units can even tunnel around while buried, essentially moving cloaked. However, with the Lurker out of the picture, there's no longer any units who can attack or do offensive actions while buried. One exception has appeared, however, the Banelings can detonate while burrowed.

Starcraft I
In StarCraft I, all ground units except for the Ultralisk and Broodling could burrow. In the expansion, the Lurker had to burrow to be able to attack, and was then the only unit able to attack in such a way.
