Most email programs will allow you to attach an arbitrary number of files to your message.

But besides holding multiple files, an advantage of using "zip" is that it makes them much smaller, but neither should be necessary just to send them along with your message as attachments.

If you want images displayed in the email, then insert them instead of attaching them.

Yes, if you want the images displayed with the message. If you only want them sent as data you can attach them either individually or as part of a zip package.

I understand the word "attached" but how to insert?

It depends on your mail agent. If you use Outlook, once you begin a new message there will be an "insert" tab in the menu bar at the top. With some mailers you can just drag and drop an image onto the message. Check the instructions for your particular software.
