Answer

As you are fairly new and just starting, so I think it's better to go with simple things first. One important thing you should know first is the value you increase or decrease in your camera to control the aperture is called F value and this is inversely proportional to aperture. The less the F value = More the aperture, More the F value, less the aperture.

By playing with aperture

1. You can make your subject look more popped and separate from the subject. More the aperture (decreased the f value), more the background is blurred.

2. You can make your subject sharp by decreasing the aperture (increasing the f value), most lenses have a sweet point but for now just keep in mind that keeping your f value 5.6-9 should do that.

3. Increasing the aperture (decreasing the f value) will help you take photos easily where the light is low.

That's mainly it
