The Talmud is taught and learned as part of the Torah ("Torah" in its wider definition), since God commands us to learn Torah (Deuteronomy ch.11). It details the laws, attitudes and beliefs of the Torah.

First, you need to understand that, in the Jewish tradition, study is valued very close to prayer. The Talmud is the record of several hundred years of opinions by various rabbis about the meaning of the Torah. It includes legal rulings, parables illustrating the meaning of the text, stories about earlier rabbis told by later rabbis, and more. Not all the rabbis quoted agree with each other, and the exercise of attempting to understand their reasoning and find the crux of their disagreement can be engrossing. So, you can think of the Talmud as the object of study, but you can also view it as a lens used to examine the meaning of Torah.
