Instead of overly-simplifying information about Tor any further, please have a look at the official Tor Project "About Tor" page for more information on who uses Tor and why. The idea is that if anyone is watching the traffic of one of the exit nodes (or tries to trace internet activity back to the source) they get to the exit node it came from but are unable to trace it further back through the mesh to the origin of the traffic. When data/information goes in one of the entry points, it bounces around a number of times before exiting one of the exit points. Tor consists of hundreds of entry/exit points and thousands of internal nodes arranged in a mesh-like fashion. The name "Tor" is derived from the project name: " The Onion Router". Tor is software designed to allow users to communicate anonymously.
