What is the purpose of using Attributes?
An Attribute is a Variable aspect of what would otherwise be Identical products.A very simple example of an attribute would be a clothing size. More often you would have multiple attributes requiring a matrix to display them. E.g Size, Colour, Length.
Using a Matrix to display these products gives you an easy Visual Display of product in stock, being purchased or sold. It also allows you to create Multiple products very quickly. E.g If an item that comes in 5 sizes, 3 colours and 2 lengths you can either manually create a product for each of the 30 combinations or create All at once using the Matrix.
