what are disk images?

I created a ZFS storage pool that only seemed to support disk images and containers. What are disk images and how can I use them? I can't seem to find information for this on the official proxmox page.

Disk images are what you attach to a VM to represent a disk. Yo use them, just create a VM (or a new disk attached to an existing VM)
