Well a long story short, the first meaning is historical, Passover is to remember the exodus from Egypt, all the Israelites left Egypt, and couldn't wait for their bread to rise, so matzo came to be, (mazto doesn't have yeast, that is why it is flat). Other meanings, are that is symbolizes redemption and freedom but also considered the "poor man's bread", this listen teaches to be humble and not greedy.

Why on other nights we eat bread but on this night we don't eat bread?

Because when the Jews let Egypt, they left in haste, and as story tells us, they carried their dough on their backs through the desert, where it baked into unleavened bread. So during Passover, we only eat unleavened bread as a reminder of this. The Torah contains a Divine commandment to eat matzo, specifically, on the first night of Passover and to eat only unleavened bread (in practice, matzo) during the entire week of Passover. Hope this helps!
