Usually, a project has at least one file or document that needs to be stored somewhere. For example, there might be a project plan, a report, or a team photo. You can store these items on your site by adding the files to a library.
Sometimes, a file might be specific to a certain task in your project. For example, you might be using a site to plan a product release, and one of the tasks in your project is to promote the product at an event that requires travel. You might have a PDF of a map to the event location. You can attach that PDF, or any other related file, to the associated task in your task list.
