why am I seeing traffic generating on my NIC as loopback: lo0 when looking at wireshark?

First of I hold my hands up, I'm not familiar with wireshark.. infact today at work was the first time I used it and I am now sat watching a tutorial.. (I work in firstline support) I can see all my network interfaces and there appears to be some called loopback:lo0.. what is this? and why is traffic being generated..? I cant really find a simple answer to this from researching online
