It's important you know something about drywalls. You may not become a carpenter someday. So okay. But you'd definitely want to own a house. In that regard, knowledge about drywalls is a must.

To understand drywall fillers, you must first understand drywalls.

A drywall is a special building material made from gypsum plaster compound that is pressed between thick sheets of paper.

Also called drywall filler coating, the compound is used to patch up cracks and holes that develop on the surface of the drywall over time.

Thanks to wear and tear, there's no stopping drywalls from developing blemishes on its surface. There are dozens of reasons why a drywall would crack--moisture damage, old age, too much stress, it doesn't matter. Fact is drywall cracks are inevitable. What you ought to do is prepare when it happens: either call a professional drywaller or perform the job yourself.

Calling a professional drywaller is the easiest solution. A good one should be able to fix up your drywall cracks in no time at all. But if you're a do-it-yourself person, you can also perform the job yourself. Just make sure you do a good job of it.  Browse the Internet or ask an experienced friend or neighbor on how to patch up drywall cracks. Good luck getting to know more about firewalls.
