Purpose of Application Pool

Good  morning!

I'm sort of new to IT things, so I was hoping to confirm something. So an application pool is something that has it's own processes (like say a server has PROCESS, one application pool has PROCESS1, while another has PROCESS2), so even though they are in separate app pools, and are technically independent (??? I think), they still have the same function?

And so when you create a new app pool, the server copies PROCESS into PROCESS# as necessary so if the web applications in one app pool crash, it doesn't affect other app pools. It's a security thing. I think?

I couldn't find 'worker processes' or 'IIS' or 'application pool' in layman's terms on Google, and it's massively confusing me.
