Seems iCloud is mainly a service for syncing the same data across various devices.
Eg: Delete the data from one device, and it deletes on iCloud as well as from any other devices in sync.
Photos stored on iCloud are synced from the iPhone.
It is possible to keep the high-resolution images in iCloud, and the low-resolution images on the iPhone to save storage space on the iPhone. More info: Upload and download photos using iCloud.com - Apple Support
Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

like. Learn more about iCloud storage and device storage
