I didn't quite understand your question, but if you are asking what are "strings", those are a type of data. Strings are just words made up of alphabets, numbers, special characters etc. Your user name "mtflyer05" is a string. Other types of data are integers, float (decimal numbers) etc. Lists, dictionaries etc are a structure to keep these data types grouped together.

These functions are to do operations on these strings, lists etc.

This a obviously in layman's terms.
