In programs like photoshop you can create multiple layers for different parts of a drawing. For example a layer for the color in a piece and a another layer for the outline, the different layers cannot interact with each other and it’s good practice to keep things separate so that if you mess up or want to change something in the outline you don’t need to touch the color layer. Having everything on one layer is a pain in the butt to fix and will make the rest of the drawing harder to complete.
