Multistage rockets have two or more stages. Typically, rockets will have only two to three.
Yes, multi-stage rockets require more force to keep moving because they must first overcome the weight of the entire rocket, including the unused stages. As each stage is jettisoned, the remaining stages become lighter, making it easier to maintain acceleration.
Rockets have stages to achieve the necessary velocity to escape Earth's gravity and reach space. Each stage is jettisoned once its fuel is depleted, making the rocket lighter and more efficient. This staging process allows the rocket to attain higher speeds and reach its desired orbit or destination.
Rockets need to carry a lot of fuel and equipment to propel themselves into space. The large size allows them to generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and reach the necessary speed to achieve orbit. Additionally, rockets must accommodate various stages and components to function properly during launch and flight.
Typically, the rocket stages that break off during launch are the boosters and any additional stages needed to reach orbit. The specific number of stages can vary depending on the rocket design and the mission requirements.

single stage
A rocket that falls to pieces during launch is known as a multistage rocket. These rockets use two or more stages, each with their own engines and propellants. During launch, the stages are jettisoned to reduce mass and improve thrust for the remaining stages.

First of all you make the first stage. Then you make the first stage again. This will require many stages.
In World War II, a bazooka team was two men, one carrying and loading the ammunition, one firing. The bazooka rockets weighed about 3.5 lbs. each, making about 10 rockets the practical maximum for the ammunition carrier. As with everything else, though, the GI's adapted their techniques to the prevailing situations.
Pratically the entire interior volume of the lower stages of rockets is fuel. This is why they have to be large: to hold enough fuel to accelerate the upper stages and carry them into orbit. The fuel may be liquid or solid. The space shuttle main engines used liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, which was heated back to a gaseous state just before it burned in the rocket engines.
By dropping off a used-up stage, mass is decreased and less energy is needed to accelerate the remaining stages. A new rocket is being developed which does not have stages. It can take off, hover and land vertically. Whether it will be able to reach orbit is a good question.
