How does the lymphatic system work? Why is it not as well known/taught about compared to the other systems of the body?

Question

The lymphatic system comes up a lot in things related to cancer. It never showed up in high school biology or textbooks. I know that it involves the fluid known as ‘lymph’ but I don’t really understand what lymph is even after researching it.
