That's a rocket with two stages- when the first stage (or section) runs out of fuel, it separates from the top half (second stage) and falls away, leaving that second stage to fire up, and drive the rocket higher.
a multistage rocket is a rocket. a rocket could be a multistage rocket. all multi-stage rockets are rockets, but not all rockets are multi-stage. For example the space misstions. They are all multi staged, but each stage is a rocket on its own.
The first stage of a multi-stage rocket is called the booster stage. It is responsible for providing the initial thrust needed to lift the rocket off the ground and begin the ascent to space. Once its fuel is expended, it separates from the rocket to reduce weight and allow the next stage to continue the journey.

The stages of a rocket going into space: The first stage of a rocket is used to acquire the acceleration of a rocket. When the fuel of the first stage is exhausted ,it detaches from the rockets and drops off. The velocity at this stage becomes the initial velocity of the second stage .Now the second stage is ignited ,the rocket gains acceleration and it's velocity foes on increasing . The removal of the surplus mass contained in the first stage helps in attaining the higher velocity .When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted ,it too detached from the rocket .Finally at the third stage , the rocket starts off with the required velocity.

Saturn V, a 3 stage rocket.
A multistage rocket usually has 3 stages or sections.
A rocket that has several stages,each smaller than the last.
The third stage of a multistage rocket can go faster than the first stage because it is lighter and has fewer engines to carry. As each stage burns its fuel and separates, the rocket sheds weight, allowing the remaining stages to accelerate more easily due to a lower overall mass.
The first stage ignites the rocket and propels it toward the atmosphere. After, the second stage would start up and follow the same course out to space. When the rocket is almost out of the atmosphere, the third stage would start up and take the rocket to where it needs to go, like the moon.
A single-stage rocket has all its propulsion and structure contained in a single unit, while a multistage rocket consists of two or more stages stacked on top of each other. In a multistage rocket, each stage is jettisoned when its fuel is exhausted, shedding weight and making the spacecraft lighter, enabling it to achieve higher speeds. This design allows multistage rockets to carry heavier payloads and go farther into space than single-stage rockets.
