I have Photoshop, but I never even open Adobe Bridge. Can someone tell me what is Bridge used for?

It's main purpose is akin to a light table in film photography. It allows you organize, remove and sort your images.

Also, it can be used to edit many images at the same time. So, it is more than just an organizer. It's kind of important if you work on many images at once.

Not quite, though they share a few things. Lr lets you organize and catalog too, but at a higher level. It uses a database.

Bridge is a "bridge" to your image collection (located in a folder) used before you open them in Ps. Originally it was a part of Ps, but now it is a separate app.
