In general, cables run from one outlet to the next to provide power to several outlets.
If a GFCI outlet is in the chain, it can provide GFCI protection to the next (and all subsequent) outlets by attaching to the "Load" terminals (the ones not providing power, in your case the ones covered by yellow tape). The downstream outlets would all be ordinary ones,but would be GFCI-protected. They require special stickers if so.
Or, the chain can continue from the other, "Live" terminals, the same ones feeding the GFCI outlet. Then the downstream outlets are not GFCI protected.
You have one example of each.
It saves money to use the "Load" terminals if you want to provide a lot of outlets for convenience in a room that requires GFCI outlets everywhere.
