Many interesting wave phenomenon in nature cannot just be described by a single wave, instead one must analyze complex wave forms in terms of a combinations of many travelling waves. To analyze such wave combinations, we make use of the principle of superposition which states that if two or more travelling waves are moving through a medium and combine at a given point, the resultant displacement of the medium at that point is sum of the displacement of individual waves.
