Anyone who has a bathroom will eventually be faced with having to deal with the bathroom plumbing. You will need to know how plumbing works to be able install something new or to fix what is already there. This knowledge will come in handy when you decide to fix things your self instead of putting it off until it is out of control, or having to pay someone else to do the work. Plumbers are not cheap. If you are faced with something like a clogged toilet, which is usually fairly simple to fix, you don't want to be paying out lots of money when you could just fix it your self.
If you are on what is called city water or if you have a well, you will usually only have one water line coming into your house, whether it comes from your well or from the cities water meter. After it is inside it will split into two lines with one going to your hot water heater, and from there to every thing that uses hot water. The other line then is your cold water line and goes to every thing that uses cold water. This is all for what is called fresh water.
After the water is used then it usually goes down a drain and into a drain line which ties into your sewer line which takes all of the dirty water out of the house to the city sewer system or into a septic tank. These lines then are what make the plumbing system work, the fresh water lines bring the water in and the drain lines take the dirty water back out. If you are looking to add new fixtures to your bathroom or if you are doing a remodel job then you want to keep these things in mind so that you can make sure that they are installed correctly.
