What do electrolytes and sodium have to do with hydration? Is water alone not enough?

Ever since I started running, all I know is that I need to drink a sh*t ton of electrolytes. But I would like to understand why on a physiological level.

Does the type of salt matter? I see electrolytes drinks advertise that they have electrolytes, but I’ve noticed the amount of sodium in food is a lot more than that are in these drinks. Is it just a scam?
