Those are Folders, and they can be used to group apps that have something in common. To move an icon out of a folder hold your finger on it until it wriggles, then drag it out of the folder. And a folder can have a lot more than 4 icons; I don’t know what the limit is, but I have a folder with 18, on 3 pages of the folder.
