What is the fatty tissue between thumb and index finger and why does it hurt?

Likely Muscle: The pad between your index finger and thumb is mostly muscular. If sore, may just be a sprain of some type. Rest the grip use, and see your family doctor to confirm if you need and x-ray or splint limitation.
