Can you simply explain me about this phrase?

"Codification is the process by which a statue is passed, expressed within a single document"

From the main paragraph here:

The term "common law" also underlines the fact that this type of law did not originate from equity, maritime and other special branches of law. Statutes serve as brief explanations of law and therefore are not very explanatory. Codification is the process by which a statue is passed, expressed within a single document, so that it is understood within existing law rather than creating the need for new laws.

Thanks you!
