Roll or bank is the aircrafts movement about its longitudinal axis. Since theyre located on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis, both ailerons need to move in the opposite directions to complement each others motion. This movement turns the aircraft about the longitudinal axis, making it enter a bank.

They allow roll control about the aircrafts longitudinal axis. Both forces complement each other, and the net torque about the longitudinal axis makes the aircraft roll. It offers pitch control, meaning the aircraft pivots about the lateral axis. This is, again, Newtons Third Law in action.
