The Organization Profile is more for B2B type sites. Like a company that makes purchases on your site. You can have multiple users that will place orders on behalf of the company. Hense, they are all part of the same Organization. Which you can define what Catalog(s) they can see, who is the Admin user of this Organization (so, probably a user you can manage other users in that Organization), etc.  A trading Partner number is a value that can be used when you sending or receiving B2B electronic documents (Like Purchase Order, shipping notice, etc…). Ultimately, if this is the type of site you are building, you will most likely extend/customize the Organization Profile Schema for your needs (if the out of the box schema is insufficient).  The StarterSite does not use the Organization as it is more a B2C retail site.

Hope this info will help and provide some context.
