Quoting from the lecture notes for 18.705, Commutative Algebra:
A map of functors is known as a natural transformation. Namely,
given two functors [F : C -> D], [G : C -> D], a natural
transformation [T: F -> G] is a collection of maps [T A : F A ->
G A], one for each object [A] of [C], such that [(T B) ∘ (F m) =
(G m) ∘ (T A)] for every map [m : A -> B] of [C]; that is, the
following diagram is commutative:
<<
F m
F A -------> F B
| |
| |
| T A | T B

V G m V
G A --------> G B
