Default Elevons? Flaperons? Spoilerons? What the???

I downloaded a freestyle Edge 540 for RealFlight G2 the other day to practice with so I don't destroy my edge as part of my learning process.

I noticed that the plane I downloaded has the ailerons mixed with the elevators. I.E. when the elevators deflect up, both ailerons deflect up and when the elevators deflect down, both ailerons deflect down. What's this called? What's it for? What's it do? In a word: WHY?
