iCloud Backup
The Backup is taking up a lot of my storage on my iCloud. What exactly is the backup option? If I take all my apps off how will that affect the use of my apps?
iPhone 11, iOS 14

See the 'Choose which apps to backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch' (and other sections) in:
Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support
The backup doesn't actually backup the app itself, only the data that app generates (such as app login info, level within a game, etc.) Not backing up the app will not affect the performance of the app. You will just have to start from scratch within that app if you ever need to restore a backup.
