You can think of the programs as your sound pallet. Each one usually represents one type of sound or instrument that can be played. A painter uses a pallet to produce a multi colored painting.

Piano, bass, drums, horns, strings, etc can all be played individually.
You can also edit them to produce new sounds, including using 2 different samples at a time for a blended sound.

What you do with them is up to you. You can make new combis or lay down tracks one instrument at a time, which is a time honored way for the one man band to record and also make your own new sounds.

Hope that helps.

PS - If you don't have a manual, you might want to down load one from korguser.net. It covers the basics like this fairly well.
