USD stands for Universal Scene Description, a "ecosystem" for building and collaborating with 3D objects and 3D worlds.

"USDZ" is a archive of files that describe materials, textures, lighting, animations, etc. for Augmented Reality (AR) developers.

Other related formats for scene descriptions are USDA (ASCII encoded) and USDC (binary encoded).
