The Layer template records information such as Layer Properties, Layer Style, and theme settings, which is actually a *.xml file that records the Attributes set at the "Layer Properties" panel of the template layer. As well as the layer's point, line, and face Marker Style, size, and color, making it easy to apply that information to other layers.
