What is the difference between wet and dry flies when fly fishing?

This is the kind of a stupid question, but what is the difference in wet and dry flies for fly fishing i just started.

Dry flies float on the water surface and represent the insects in the stage end of life when they are flying and laying eggs in or near water. Wet flies can indicate ealier stages of flies, as the larva. When people say wet flies which can mean a couple of different things, that can mean nymphs (bug earlier stage) or emergers (increased background error) or coils (large flies pulled through present to represent the smaller fish or crawfish or leeches or anything that swims underwater.)
