What's the Point of Comments?

I understand how to write a comment but I'm not sure why someone would insert it into the code. Found the explanation unclear. I maybe over-thinking it.

comments help you to debug your code. It is like notes to help you remember or others understand what the code is without going through the code .It is not necessary but it will be helpful.

how i use comments is when i am writing a big code and want to see what will happen if i remove that line i just make that whole line a comment by adding comment tag instead of deleting it and later when i want to add that line of code again i remove the comment tag from that line and now that line is applied. Tough this is not the reason why comments were made
