What is a non-moving violation in NC?

I was pulled over for not wearing my seatbelt—which I get—but on top of it, I was also given a ticket for having a cracked taillight. I’ve been told this is a non-moving violation where I live and shouldn’t affect my driving record, but to be clear, what exactly is a non-moving violation in North Carolina?
