Here's some information directly from the WordPress Codex that explains what the WordPress Loop is and what you can do with it.

The Loop is the default mechanism WordPress uses for outputting posts through a theme’s template files. How many posts are retrieved is determined by the number of posts to show per page defined in the Reading settings. Within the Loop, WordPress retrieves each post to be displayed on the current page and formats it according to your theme’s instructions.

The Loop extracts the data for each post from the WordPress database and inserts the appropriate information in place of each template tag. Any HTML or PHP code in The Loop will be processed for each post.

To put it simply, the Loop is true to its name: it loops through each post retrieved for the current page one at a time and performs the action specified in your theme.

You can use the Loop for a number of different things, for example to:

display post titles and excerpts on your blog’s homepage;
display the content and comments on a single post;
display the content on an individual page using template tags; and
display data from Custom Post Types and Custom Fields.
You can customize the Loop across your template files to display and manipulate different content."
