The first stage is jettisoned, to fall back to earth, as the fuel runs out.
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.
The first rocket, known as an aeolipile, was invented by Hero of Alexandria in the 1st century AD. This invention laid the foundation for modern rocket technology.
The payload (the important stuff) in a multistage rocket is carried in the last stage. The earlier stages are there only for the purpose of boosting the last stage on its way. When each earlier stage is out of fuel, it separates and falls back to Earth.
-- The gunpowder rocket was invented around 500 BCE. -- The first successful flight of an airplane was in 1903. So the rocket sneaked past the airplane in line by about 2,400 years.
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.
it is dropped off the rocket and either burns in the atmosphere or lands in the ocean
Yes, I'm pretty sure that everyone who has travelled into space has been lifted there by a multistage rocket.

that the total weight of the rocket is greatly reduced as the rocket rises
A multistage rocket usually has 3 stages or sections.
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.

A single stage rocket consists of only a single set of rocket engines and fuel containers. This assembly is used for the entire journey. A multistage rocket consists of several sets of engines and fuel containers that are used in succession. When the fuel of one stage is spent it detaches from the rocket to get rid of the weight and the next set of engines is ignited. Multistage rockets are far more efficient at getting things into space.

a disadvantige is that a rocket gets disposed of after each flight
