I don't know what grade you are in, but the average classroom teaches 8 subjects a day, has to prep students for state testing, handle behavior problems, and do many other things in the school day. Homework is a way for a teacher to check to see if a students has understood what they have taught that day or week. Only about 40-45 minutes is given for direct teaching in each subject, so it is hard to tell if a student is learning. Homework is one way to do it.

Homework is also a way for students to master what they have been taught. You learn things not just by observing them but by DOING them. Watching a person paint a picture is not the same as painting one yourself. Watching someone do math is not the same as applying it yourself. Etc. Etc. Etc. Students who do the homework learn. Student's who do not do the homework don't. Thousands of years of human experience has demonstrated this.

Is there a law that says schools have to have homework?

There is no law, however there is the general tenet in education the classroom time is intended for instruction and demonstration, and practice (homework) should be done outside of class. Keep in mind that as much "homework" as your teachers give you, they are giving themselves too, multiplied by the number of students they have. Homework must be graded, and they're not doing that during class.

Is an extra 2 hours homework too much for an 11 year old child?

It depends. Two hours total homework isn't too much - you can get that done before dinner and have the whole evening free. Two hours on top of what you're already doing seems a bit much and you should have a talk with your teachers about how much work you have every night.
