Most organisations strucutres are in layers, with the people at the top having more authority than those at the bottom.
Some businesses have a vertical or tall strucutre. This means that there is many layers, but few people in each layer. Communication up and down may be slow.
Some business have a horizontal oe flat structure. There are few layers and many people in each layer. Although this means that communication within a layer is generally good, this sort of structure can make decision making hard.
Some businesses may decide to remove layers to become more efficient. This is called de-layering.
