What does the term Channel mean when used in regards to Computer Graphics?

I was studying terminology for computer graphics, and this statement came up that confused me.

The image can have alpha channels for transparency.

I tried searching for the meaning of the term "alpha channel", but I got really confused by the definition which used another concept called a "channel." I'm not really sure what this means, so could someone be kind enough to please explain this to me?

I thank you for reading, and look forward to your answer.
