You can read more details at Help:Editing. To summarize, there are different ways you can edit a page. The default is using VisualEditor. This provides a fully visual approach. For example, you click an "insert image" button and then drag the corners and image around to place it. There are options in the middle, but the opposite extreme would be source mode. Source mode represents everything as text; even images. To insert an image in source mode, you type " " to insert the image "MyFile.png", give it a width of 20px, have it float to the left of the page, and have it link to "MyPage".

In general, the more control you want to have over the page content and/or the morecomplex you want to makes things, the more you will need to rely on source mode.
