Sulcus refers to a crease or invagination of the surface of the vocal fold. It is thought to be caused by a thinning or absence of a special layer of tissue, called the superficial lamina propria, which the vocal cord requires to vibrate in order to produce sound. The lack of this tissue causes a divot in the vocal cord.
