Every image contains at list one layer but you can have as many as you want. Layers are separate images which can contain transparent areas or different levels of transparency. People use layers to create compositions in Photoshop because every layer can be edited separately without affecting other layers or composition. Another advantage is because you can save layered image (PSD, PSB, TIFF ) and edit layers at any time you want. Photoshop offers several type of layers like Type layer so you can change typed text only for example. When it comes to save image you can flatten image or to save flattened version of image on disc and leave composition as it is with all layers for further editing at later time. In other words saved layered image serves as template which can be edited even after 10 or 20 years.
