In this example there is one slot for an object and one slot for a material, but you can have as many slots as you like for as many objects, materials, lights, etc. as you like. If you're baking down a simulation of 100 bouncing balls, you could store that animation in single action with 100 slots.

Not all actions need to take advantage of slots: you are free to use 100 separate actions for all those bouncing balls if you prefer. Nevertheless, the animation data in an action is always organized into slots, and therefore you need at least one slot in an action in order to animate something.
