The purpose of layers in an image is to be able to put another image on top of an image to make it look like it is all one photo. Image flattening is when you are done layering your photo and then when you save the photo and close it, the next time you open it, you can not move anything that was on the picture because it has been "flattened" and is now in the actual picture. It is an important final step because if you couldn't flatten a photo, then all those photo's that you crop, someone can easily just take it and figure out what was the original photo.
