Default Leader question

Relatively new to fly fishing. Do you need to use tippet on the leader for fly fishing? Or can you just use the leader until it gets short and then extend the leader by tying on the tippet? For some odd reason I can't wrap my head around the purpose of tippet when you already have a leader....To me they kind of seem like the same thing, only the leader is noticeably tapered where as the tippet isnt. Why not just buy a new leader when it gets to short?
Thanks a bunch guys and gals!
