Saturation in the world of photography is quite different from what we've all come to know in the real world. Saturation in its most basic definition is the amount of liquid absorbed. For example, the amount of water absorbed by a hand towel, or the amount of water absorbed by a bowl of oatmeal. If the oatmeal has absorbed a lot of water, then it is highly saturated.
On the other hand, in photography, saturation is the color being reflected back to us. For example if a shirt appears to be color yellow, then that means that it absorbs all colors except the color yellow, which is the color reflected to us.
That's the shortest definition of saturation, we can go into the details, but that would definitely bore you. I just gave you the introduction so you can have more appreciation of what the saturation tool in the online Photoshop tool can be used for.
Again, here is the sample photo with different saturation settings applied.
This is the original image, no saturation adjustments yet:
Here is the same photo with saturation setting 1 applied, as you can see, the image has turned to grey scale:
