Every TCP/IP packet contains 2 IP addresses: the sender's IP and the destination IP. These are used for multiple purposes (e.g. routing, handshake protocol management).

The IP address is what is used to locate a computer over the Internet. The domain name - for example, Google.com - is only a shortcut, easy to read for humans. Before the corresponding server or servers can be accessed, the IP address must first be found. In the case of publicly accessible computers, the IP address is unique worldwide - that is, no two computers have the same IP address.
