The word its is an adjective and is the possessive form of it. You need its when you talk about something that a thing or an animal possesses:

The old computer has one megabyte of memory.
Its memory is small.


The possessive adjectives are:
my, your, his, her, its, our, their

......................................................

The word its is often confused with it's. The word it's is usually a contraction of it is.
It's can also be a contraction of it has.
