You could say it is a natural storage pool of water.

Aquifers are layers of porous rock which both hold water and allow it to move underground. Think of them as large sponges made of rock. We drill wells into the aquifer to extract water for human needs and new water flows into the point of extraction, re-filling the well. All works fine as long as more water ENTERS the aquifer than is removed from it.
People can obtain water from an aquifer by driling a well below the water table.
Yes, an aquifer is one of the water bearing layers.
Percolation leads to water entering an aquifer.

The over-pumping can cause sinkholes and/or collapse of the availability of fresh water. In the worst case polluted water can be drawn into the area of the pumps.
