✅ What is a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) file? Why is it useful?

Hello guys, can someone explain what is a DLL file and why is it useful please. From what I've read, DLL are files that contain compiled code, that is the intermediate code that will be interpreted by the .NET runtime. But notice the call stack in the picture; they are all DLL file within the same main file, so I'm a bit confused, the compiler doesn't compile everything related to a single main file into another main compiled file?
