Android phones are made not to only support system apps but also third party apps for additional functionalities. This is what make huge difference between android and our old fashion phones.
Third party apps are any apps that are outside your phone and ready made to be download. These apps are apps that are developed by other companies other than your phone manufacturer.
Some third party apps are very important to go with, because there are some limited functionalities on your android phone like photo and video editing, reading and writing documents of different extensions and other functionalities. This is what brings the idea of using third party apps.
For any third party app to work on your device it must request a permission based on what will make it to function, this is to say before using any photo editor app then it must have access to your file manager or photo gallery and If it is phone call app then it must require a permission to access your contacts and your SMS.
Are third party apps secure at all ?
Not all apps are secure; this is to say some third party apps are not secure at all which means it is not good to install it on your phone without checking for reviews from the download site or scanning the app with play protect.
Using android play store for downloading your apps serve as a protection from downloading malicious apps because play store always verify the state of app when uploaded by their developers and they use play protect to scan any harmful app to protect your device.
