The purpose of a bearing is to reduce friction, most often on a rotating shaft. It may be made of many different materials including sintered bronze, which holds oil to reduce friction, and various metals which are cast in place to make a soft slippery surface for really heavy shafts. A bearing can also use balls or rods between two hardened metal surfaces, the balls or rollers convert what would be a sliding contact to a rolling point contact.
