Layers are like transparent sheets that can hold objects and are stacked on top of each other. Layers are useful while developing a big animation movie. When you have to use a number of objects, it is always better to distribute the objects in different layers as it makes the work process much easier. Layers allow you to organise the artwork, animations and other elements of your movie. You can draw and edit objects on one layer without affecting the objects on another layer.
