Simple Explanation of Morphological Operators?

I am new to MATLAB and trying to learn it independently with no prior programming experience. I am currently confused on how to visualize morphological operators fixing images. Specifically, what does imopen imclose tophat imbothat Mask = img > 60 Bwconn = bware wiener2 filter What do these do? I honestly need a really simple explanation to understand cause ive been looking on the web and its almost clear but not quite... still confused.

I think the pages linked under the Concepts section on the morphological operations documentation page include some pictures/diagrams that may help you understand the different operations more easily.
