Wide Angle Lens

What is the purpose of a wide angle lens?
I'm a school photographer and i checked out a camera with an additional wide angle lens.
What is its exact purpose?
Like.. the difference between it and just a standard lens?
Imagine standing close to a wall and you want to take a shot of alot of it.
Then you'd use a wide angle lens to get the most of the wall into the camera.
