There is at least one string, a hammer (which is actually a very light piece of wood) and a damper corresponding to every one of the 88 keys of a piano. When a key is pressed, the corresponding damper moves away from the corresponding string(s) while the corresponding hammer strikes the string(s). When the key is released, the damper contacts the string(s), and it/they stop(s) vibrating (unless the sustain pedal, which moves all dampers away from all strings, is pressed). The harder or softer a piano key is pressed, the louder or softer the resulting tone is, which is why the instrument was originally called a "piano forte", Italian for "soft loud".
